2021 Vauxhall Mokka Elite NAV Turbo 1.2L Petrol · NG71 DXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of neglected consumables. While the car passed its latest MOT on 28 May 2026 at 25,613 miles, it had failed just one day prior due to multiple significant defects. The progression from a clean record in 2024 to a series of failures in 2025 and 2026 suggests reactive rather than proactive ownership habits. The mileage profile indicates low-than-average usage, averaging approximately 5,123 miles per year. This low-frequency use explains the specific mechanical issues noted in the record. Between the May 2024 test at 8,607 miles and the May 2026 test at 25,613 miles, the vehicle covered 17,006 miles over two years. The low annual mileage suggests that while the engine has seen little mechanical stress, the vehicle likely sat stationary for long periods, leading to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The 2026 test flagged all four tyres for cracking or perishing, alongside an offside rear tyre with a nail, which are classic symptoms of age-related decay. The front brake discs are now pitted and scored, and the nearside rear pads were found below the legal limit in the previous year. The recurring binding nearside front brake noted in 2025 indicates that the calipers may be beginning to seize or become sticky due to lack of regular use. The recurring failure of the nearside windscreen wiper across two years further highlights a lack of basic preventative maintenance. During inspection, the buyer should check for deep surface corrosion on the brake rotors and verify the remaining sidewalls of all tyres for dry rot. While the low mileage is attractive, the data suggests the previous owner has only addressed faults once they have forced an MOT failure.
