2022 Vauxhall Mokka Elite Premium Turbo 1.2L Petrol · HT22 UEH

The most recent MOT conducted in January 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, which indicates a positive trend in the vehicle's maintenance history. This follows a July 2025 inspection where advisories were issued for worn front tyres on both the nearside and offside, as well as imbalanced front brakes. The transition from these advisories to a clean pass suggests that the necessary remedial work, such as tyre replacement and brake servicing, has likely been completed. This movement toward a defect-free status is a reassuring sign of an owner who addresses maintenance requirements before they escalate into MOT failures. With a recorded mileage of 28,242 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,060 miles per annum. This is a relatively low mileage profile for a 2022 model, suggesting the car has been used for light commuting or local trips rather than heavy long-distance motorway use. While lower mileage generally implies less mechanical wear on the engine, turbocharger, and suspension components, it can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as battery depletion or carbon accumulation if the engine is rarely driven at sustained speeds. However, the current MOT history does not indicate any immediate concerns regarding the drivetrain or structural integrity. During your inspection and test drive, you should focus heavily on the front axle to ensure the previous advisories have been fully resolved. Monitor the steering for any pulling to one side and listen for uneven road noise or vibration, which could indicate that the tyres are wearing prematurely due to incorrect wheel alignment or that the replacement tyres are nearing the end of their life. Regarding the braking system, perform several controlled stops to check for any pedal pulsation or shudder, which would suggest warped brake discs, or any pulling to one side, which could point to binding calipers or uneven pad distribution. Given the low annual mileage, you should also conduct a physical inspection for signs of age-related degradation that mileage alone does not capture. Check the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, as rubber can harden and lose grip over time even if the tread remains deep. Inspect the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods. It is also essential to confirm that the service history includes time-based fluid changes, particularly for the brake fluid and engine oil, to prevent degradation from moisture or oxidation. Finally, check the condition of the 12V battery, as low-use vehicles are more susceptible to charge loss and reduced cranking power.
