2022 Vauxhall Mokka E SRI Premium Electricity · SA07 RAA

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-31 confirmed the 2022 Vauxhall Mokka E SRI Premium passed with one minor issue: slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, classified under 5.3.4 (a) (i). This is a safety-critical component, and while the defect was minor, it requires monitoring for progression. No other defects were recorded in this test, suggesting the vehicle’s condition has not deteriorated significantly since the prior MOT. The 2025-03-17 MOT revealed multiple non-urgent issues: nearside front tyre damage (cracking and a shallow cut), and rear brake discs showing wear and surface rust. These were categorized as “advisories” rather than failures, indicating they did not immediately compromise safety but required attention. The 2026 MOT did not reiterate these tyre or brake disc concerns, implying they may have been addressed or were not severe enough to recur. The pattern of defects suggests a mix of minor, manageable issues rather than systemic problems. The suspension ball joint defect is the only recurring concern, but it was isolated to one side and classified as “slight.” No major trends of worsening conditions are evident from the two MOT entries. However, the low mileage (8,795 miles over four years) raises questions about usage. At 2,199 miles per year, the vehicle may have experienced periods of inactivity, which can lead to accelerated wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension due to lack of regular use.
