2021 Vauxhall Mokka Elite Premium Turbo 1.2L Petrol · SB71 AHJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a lapse in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its test on 2 June 2026 at 17,911 miles, it failed the inspection just days prior due to multiple safety-critical defects. The transition from a clean record in 2025 to a multi-point failure in 2026 suggests that mechanical components were neglected until they reached a critical failure point. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between November 2024 at 10,629 miles and May 2025 at 13,729 miles, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 4,282 miles before the June 2026 test. This low-frequency usage pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake hardware, which is consistent with the specific failures recorded related to age rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must physically inspect the front braking system specifically, as the June 2026 failure flagged front inner brake pads below the 1.5mm threshold and worn discs. Although these were likely replaced post-failure, the recurring nature of such issues suggests the owner ignores service intervals. Additionally, the cracking and perishing noted on both nearside and offside rear tyres indicate rubber dry rot due to long periods of standing despite having sufficient tread depth. The wiper blades should also be checked to ensure they have been replaced following the previous failure for ineffective clearance.
