2022 Vauxhall Mokka GS Line Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · LO72 ABK

The most recent MOT test conducted on 6 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a previous inspection in September 2025 which noted minor defects regarding the nearside and offside windscreen wiper blades. The fact that these minor issues were resolved by the latest test indicates a stable and proactive maintenance trend, suggesting that the vehicle is being kept in a roadworthy state and that minor consumable failures are being addressed. The recorded mileage of 7,358 miles for a four-year-old vehicle is significantly below the UK average, equating to roughly 1,840 miles per year. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine, automatic transmission, and suspension components, it also implies the vehicle has likely spent extended periods stationary. In automotive terms, this means that while the mechanical components may have low wear, they may also be subject to the effects of infrequent use, such as fluid stagnation or component seizure, rather than traditional mileage-based degradation. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on age-related deterioration rather than wear. Examine the tyres closely for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur even if the tread depth remains high due to the age of the rubber. Check the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding, as long periods of standing can cause brake components to seize. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension bushes or coil springs, which can sometimes stiffen or degrade when not regularly exercised. Additionally, it is vital to verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance has been performed. Fluids such as engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant degrade chemically over time regardless of mileage, and failing to change them according to the manufacturer's calendar-based schedule can lead to internal corrosion or reduced lubrication efficiency. You should also test the 12V battery health, as low-usage vehicles are frequently subject to battery discharge and loss of capacity. Confirm that the service book shows regular intervals of oil changes to protect the turbocharger and drivetrain.
