2019 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · SA69 JSZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in July 2025 at 39,195 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the car held clean records in its earlier years, the July 2025 failure revealed multiple critical defects regarding the braking system and wipers. The immediate pass following this failure indicates the necessary repairs were completed, but the nature of the faults suggests that components were ignored until they reached a point of legal failure. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 39,195 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,600 miles. This low usage pattern is consistent between 2022 and 2023, where the vehicle covered roughly 7,800 miles. The mileage increased by over 9,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, it can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seized brake components, which may align with the binding caliper issue noted in the most recent tests. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system history during a physical inspection. The 2024 test flagged thin front pads and worn discs, while the 2025 test identified significantly worn rear discs, thin pads, and a binding offside rear caliper. This pattern suggests a history of neglecting brake maintenance. You should check for uneven wear on the remaining tyres and signs of caliper piston sticking. Additionally, the worn offside front tyre noted in 2024 indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension geometry that should be verified to prevent further premature tyre degradation.
