2022 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate EV Electric · SC22 AXR

Recurring brake component degradation and a history of critical braking failures define the mechanical profile of this vehicle, with the most recent test on 05 August 2026 showing a pass despite multiple advisories regarding worn and pitted brake discs. The inspection history reveals a worsening trend in braking system condition, moving from a dangerous failure in July 2025 due to an offside rear brake pad being below the 1.5 mm legal limit to the current advisories noting that both front and rear discs are significantly worn, scored, or lipped. This pattern of deterioration suggests that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the braking hardware is approaching the end of its functional service life. The vehicle has covered 63,284 miles in approximately four years, representing an average annual usage of roughly 15,821 miles. This is a high rate of accumulation for an electric vehicle of this age, which typically correlates with increased wear on consumable components. While electric drivetrains often reduce mechanical stress on certain parts, the high mileage combined with the recorded MOT history indicates that the chassis and braking components have been subjected to consistent, heavy use. This level of mileage necessitates a closer inspection of all wear-related items that are subject to friction and road debris. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the braking system during a test drive to assess the extent of the recorded disc wear. Listen for any rhythmic clicking or grinding noises when applying the brakes, and feel for any pedal judder or pulsations, which can indicate warped or unevenly worn discs. Given that the rear discs were specifically flagged as badly worn in the August 2026 test, it is essential to check for any pulling to one side during braking or a spongy pedal feel that might suggest issues with the calipers or hydraulic integrity. The previous failure regarding tyres worn close to the legal limit also warrants attention. Although no specific tyre advisories were issued in the most recent test, the history of edge wear suggests the vehicle should be checked for uneven tyre degradation, which can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or suspension geometry issues. During the test drive, pay close attention to steering stability and any pulling tendencies at various speeds, as well as any knocks or vibrations from the suspension that could indicate that the high mileage has impacted the bushings or steering linkages.
