2021 Vauxhall Mokka SE Edition Turbo 1.2L Petrol · PF71 FXL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest MOT on 9 June 2026 at 51,482 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior due to poor parking brake efficiency. This indicates a trend where faults are only addressed immediately upon failing a legal test. The recurring nature of the braking issues is particularly notable, with multiple discs and fluctuating components appearing across the last three testing intervals. The recorded mileage of 51,482 miles over five years reflects an average usage of approximately 10,300 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical national averages. However, the data shows a significant gap in activity between the November 2025 test and the May 2026 test, where the vehicle covered only 47 miles in six months. This suggests the car may have sat stationary for extended periods, which often correlates with the surface corrosion, pitting, and scoring observed on the brake components in the DVSA records. A buyer must inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the records consistently flagged pitting and scoring on all four discs during both 2025 and 2026. The report of fluctuating service brakes in May 2026 suggests potentially warped rotors or sticking calipers that require attention beyond cleaning. Additionally, the previous failure regarding a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover indicates that rubber suspension components may be degrading prematurely. Physical inspection should also verify the condition of undertrays to ensure they are properly secured and not masking any underlying structural corrosion or fluid leaks.
