2021 Vauxhall Mokka SRI NAV Premium Turbo 1.2L Petrol · HK71 WXG

The 2021 Vauxhall Mokka presents a stable but concerning maintenance trend, culminating in a failed test on 18 November 2025 at 31,409 miles. The vehicle passed a retest on the same day, indicating the immediate failures were rectified. However, the persistent nature of the advisories reveals a pattern of deferred upkeep. The tester flagged cracking or perishing tyres across multiple axles in both the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggesting the rubber has been degrading for over a year without replacement. The 2025 failure also included ineffective windscreen wipers, a basic consumable item that should have been addressed during routine servicing. The mileage accumulation of roughly 6,282 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age, indicating regular use rather than long-term storage. The jump from 21,988 miles in November 2024 to 31,409 miles by November 2025 represents a significant increase of 9,421 miles in a single year. This accelerated wear pattern places additional stress on consumable components, making the recurring tyre damage more understandable but also more urgent. The lack of earlier MOT records in this dataset limits a full longitudinal view, but the available data shows a vehicle that has been driven consistently and harder in its most recent year. A buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls carefully, particularly the nearside front and rear, where cracking and perishing were repeatedly noted. The date code 39/21 indicates all tyres were manufactured in the 39th week of 2021, meaning they are now over four years old and approaching the end of their safe service life regardless of remaining tread depth. The windscreen wiper failure, while minor, points to a lack of attention to basic maintenance items. Check the condition of the wiper blades and the effectiveness of the washer system during any test drive. Beyond the flagged items, the accelerated mileage in the final year warrants a thorough inspection of the braking system, suspension bushes, and exhaust components. Listen for knocking over speed bumps and check for uneven brake disc wear. The structural integrity of the underbody should be examined for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system. The recurring tyre advisories combined with the recent mileage spike suggest this vehicle has been driven hard without commensurate attention to its upkeep.
