2023 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate EV Electricity · GL72 RFF

High annual mileage combined with recent failures regarding visibility and tyre wear defines the mechanical profile of this Vauxhall Mokka. While the vehicle secured a clean pass on 11 May 2026, this followed a failure just three days prior due to an ineffective front windscreen wiper and all four tyres being worn close to the legal limit. The recent history shows a trend of consumable wear, moving from a single advisory for a perishing nearside front tyre in December 2025 to a more comprehensive requirement for tyre replacement and wiper blade renewal by May 2026. The recorded mileage of 36,358 miles against a three-year age profile indicates a heavy usage pattern of approximately 12,119 miles per year. For an electric vehicle, this consistent high-frequency usage suggests the car is likely used for significant commuting or long-distance travel rather than short urban trips. Mechanically, this level of mileage accelerates the wear on consumable items such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyres, which is reflected in the recent MOT results. The higher mileage also means that while the powertrain is relatively new, the chassis and running gear are being subjected to more frequent cycles of thermal and physical stress than a typical low-mileage vehicle of this age. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyre tread and the integrity of the rubber, given the recurring advisories regarding perishing and edge wear. During a test drive, pay close attention to any rhythmic humming or vibration through the steering wheel or floorpan, which could indicate uneven tyre wear or alignment issues resulting from the documented edge wear. Additionally, check for any steering pull or uneven handling, as the history of worn tyres can sometimes mask underlying issues with suspension geometry or worn bushings. Visibility components should also be verified beyond the recent wiper blade replacement. Ensure the windscreen is free from pitting or deep scratches that could compromise clarity, especially as the previous failure highlighted an inability to clear the glass effectively. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the braking system is also advisable; listen for any squealing or grinding during low-speed manoeuvres and feel for any pedal pulsation, as the frequent usage pattern will have placed a consistent load on the brake discs and calipers.
