2021 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate NAV Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · NG71 HTK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 23,967 miles, but only after failing the same day due to critical advisories on both front tyres and front brake pads, with an additional issue on the offside front anti-roll bar linkage dust cover. This indicates a clear deterioration in maintenance condition over the past year, moving from a clean pass in 2025 to multiple wear-related failures in 2026. The recurrence of the same tyre and brake issues across two tests on the same day confirms these are not isolated incidents but signs of neglect or excessive use. The recorded mileage of 23,967 miles over five years equates to an average of 4,793 miles annually, which is low and suggests limited use. However, the jump from 11,366 miles in September 2024 to 23,967 miles in June 2026 represents a rapid accumulation of 12,601 miles in just 21 months, inconsistent with the prior pattern of minimal annual mileage. This spike implies either a change in usage—possibly more frequent or longer journeys—or that the vehicle was stationary for extended periods before being driven intensively, which can accelerate wear on seals, fluids, and brake components due to inactivity. A buyer must inspect the front tyres and brake system immediately. Both tyres are worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear, suggesting misalignment or underinflation over time. The thin brake pads indicate imminent replacement is required, and the fact they were flagged twice in one day means they were dangerously close to failure. The compromised dust cover on the anti-roll bar linkage is a minor fault now but signals potential contamination of the ball joint, which could lead to play or failure if not checked. The absence of any prior defects until now suggests the vehicle was well-maintained during its first three years, but the recent failures point to a lapse in routine servicing. A thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, brake caliper operation, and underlying corrosion on the chassis and wheel arches is strongly advised.
