2021 Vauxhall Mokka SRI Turbo 1.2L Petrol · NV21 EVK

The vehicle currently holds a 2026-06-18 MOT pass, but the maintenance history reveals a clear deterioration trend that has not been stabilized since the 2025-04-10 failure. While the 2026-04-13 test passed at 41,206 miles, the subsequent 2025-04-11 and 2025-04-10 tests failed at 34,431 and 34,430 miles respectively, indicating a consistent decline in performance and a lack of corrective maintenance. This pattern suggests that the owner has not kept the vehicle's mechanical systems in top working order, as the failure rates are high and the mileage accumulation is rapid. The 2024-04-11 test passed at 25,413 miles, which is the only clean test in the record, but the gap between the 2025-04-10 and 2024-04-11 tests highlights a significant gap in the vehicle's upkeep schedule, particularly around the rear suspension and braking components. The mileage data points to a pattern of rapid wear and tear that is not typical for a vehicle of this age, which is approximately 5 years old. At 41,206 miles, the vehicle is approaching the upper limit for a 5-year-old car, suggesting that the owner has likely driven the vehicle at a high frequency or in poor conditions without addressing wear on critical components. The 2025-04-10 failure at 34,430 miles is the first definitive indication of a problem that has not been resolved, with the next test failing at 34,431 miles, confirming that the issue is not a minor consumable but a structural or component failure. The rapid mileage accumulation compared to the 2024-04-11 test suggests that the vehicle has been driven for several years without any scheduled servicing, including oil changes, fluid checks, or tyre rotation, which is a major risk factor for failure. Given the history of two failures, one of which was a windscreen wiper, combined with the recent 2025-04-10 failure at 34,431 miles, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for a range of structural integrity and mechanical risks. The most likely issues include worn suspension bushings, binding rear brakes, and potentially cracked or worn brake discs, all of which are exacerbated by the rapid mileage. The 2024-04-11 test at 25,413 miles shows that the vehicle has been in service for over two years, during which time the owner may have neglected routine maintenance, leading to the accumulation of wear on components like the front windscreen wiper, brake pads, and brake discs. The 2026-04-13 test at 41,206 miles confirms that the vehicle has been in service for approximately 2.5 years, which is a period of time where the owner may have driven the car at high speeds or in harsh conditions, further accelerating wear on the suspension and braking systems.
