2022 Vauxhall Mokka GS Line Turbo 1.2L Petrol · SC22 GCZ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 27 July 2026, though the result indicates a shift in the maintenance trend. While the 2025 inspection was entirely clean, the latest report introduces several advisories concerning consumables. This suggests that the vehicle has moved from its initial new-car condition into a phase where routine wear-and-tear components are reaching the end of their operational life, requiring a more proactive approach to maintenance to ensure continued roadworthiness. With 24,923 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,231 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for a modern compact crossover and suggests a balanced duty cycle. Mechanically, this mileage is low enough that the engine and transmission should remain in prime condition, but it is sufficient to have caused the expected degradation of high-friction components such as brake pads and tyre treads. The most immediate concerns for a prospective buyer are the front brake pads and the offside front tyre. The advisory for thin brake pads indicates that a replacement set is imminent. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any metallic scraping sounds and feel for a reduction in pedal firmness or any shuddering under heavy braking. The offside front tyre is flagged for both wear and perishing, with specific mention of edge wear. This often points to an issue with the wheel alignment or suspension geometry. The buyer must physically inspect the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking and verify that the tread is wearing evenly across the width of the tyre. Beyond these specific defects, the buyer should verify the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals, as fluid degradation occurs regardless of mileage. It is also prudent to inspect the 12V battery health and check the brake discs for surface corrosion or binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has experienced periods of inactivity. Finally, the buyer should clarify the nature of the fitted covers mentioned in the report to ensure they do not obstruct any essential cooling vents or interfere with the vehicle's structural integrity.
