2021 Vauxhall Mokka SRI Turbo 1.2L Petrol · MT71 EPU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a recent decline in proactive care. While the car passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 at 30,118 miles, it failed that same test due to multiple front-end defects. The tester identified an excessively worn nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and play in the lower suspension arm ball joint. The fact that these issues were addressed immediately after the failure suggests the owner only repaired components upon failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain components. However, the jump of 16,810 miles between the July 2024 test at 13,308 miles and the July 2025 test at 30,118 miles shows a period of higher activity. This burst of use likely explains the accelerated wear on the suspension bushings and rubber-dust components noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to ensure the repairs following the July 2025 failure were completed to a professional standard. Specific attention should be paid to the anti-roll bar linkage and the lower arm ball joints for any remaining lateral movement or grease leakage. The record also noted a nearside front tyre worn on the edge, which often points to an alignment issue that should be verified to prevent premature wear of any new replacement tyres.
