2022 Vauxhall Mokka Elite Premium EV Electric · SC22 BHD

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 7 August 2026, although this followed an immediate failure on the same day. The failure was categorized as dangerous due to the nearside and offside front tyres having tread depths below the legal limit of 1.6mm. While the overall history is relatively clean, this specific failure indicates a lapse in basic consumable maintenance, suggesting that the previous owner may have been reactive rather than proactive regarding the vehicle's roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 16,607 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 4,152 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the electric drivetrain and interior trim, it introduces specific risks associated with prolonged periods of inactivity, such as the degradation of rubber components and the potential for brake system stagnation. Given the recent dangerous tyre failure, a prospective buyer must verify the quality and age of the replacement front tyres to ensure they are not budget-grade or aged stock. It is equally important to inspect the rear tyres for similar wear or sidewall perishing, as rubber compounds degrade over time regardless of mileage. During a test drive, listen for any unusual humming or vibrations that could indicate uneven wear or poor wheel alignment, which may have contributed to the premature depletion of the front tread. Due to the low annual usage and the nature of electric vehicle braking systems, particular attention should be paid to the brake discs and calipers. Regenerative braking often leaves the physical friction brakes underutilised, which can lead to surface corrosion or binding calipers. Ensure the brakes feel responsive without shuddering and check for excessive rust on the disc faces. Additionally, verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and confirm that time-based service intervals, such as brake fluid replacement and cabin filter changes, have been adhered to in the service record.
