2021 Moke 1.0L Petrol · HF21 CCO

The MOKE presents a stable but newly flagged maintenance profile following its most recent MOT on 24 February 2026 at 3,512 miles. That test returned a pass but recorded six minor advisories, marking a shift from the clean bills of health recorded in 2024 and 2025. The trend is not worsening in any structural or dangerous sense, yet the cluster of new advisories suggests a vehicle that has recently sat idle long enough for basic brake and tyre hardware to deteriorate from static use rather than wear. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low. The vehicle covered 851 miles between the May 2024 test at 1,940 miles and the June 2025 test at 2,791 miles, then only 721 miles in the subsequent eight months leading to the February 2026 test. Over its five years, the annual average sits at just over 700 miles. Such low utilisation typically limits mechanical wear on drivetrain and suspension components, but it introduces a different risk set: brake corrosion, tyre sidewall perishing, seized callipers, and deteriorated flexible brake hoses from prolonged standing. The February 2026 advisories directly reflect that low-mileage, high-storage pattern. Both front brake discs are flagged as worn, pitted, or scored, a common outcome when a vehicle sits and surface rust scores the disc faces. Both rear flexible brake pipes are flagged for inadequate clipping or support, which may simply be a loose bracket but warrants physical inspection to confirm the pipe is not chafing against the chassis or suspension arms. All four valve stems are noted as slightly damaged, an age-related perishing issue rather than a mileage one, and a strong indicator that the tyres themselves may be approaching five years old and due for replacement regardless of remaining tread depth. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the braking system and tyres. Check the front disc faces for deep scoring that would require replacement rather than skimming, and flex the rear brake pipes to confirm they are secure and free of cracks or bulging. Inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking and date stamps, replacing them if they are the original 2021-fitment rubber. Given the low mileage, also bounce-test the suspension and inspect the lower suspension arms and track rod ends for corrosion rather than play, as standing vehicles often surface-rust components that higher-mileage examples would naturally keep clean.
