2021 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate Edition EV Electricity · SD71 BYJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of developing suspension and brake wear. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 15,559 miles, it failed that same inspection due to a compromised nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. The persistence of the ball joint issue as an advisory after the initial failure suggests that components are beginning to show signs of degradation despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,112 miles per year. A gap of 6,458 miles occurred between the September 2024 test at 9,101 miles and the September 2025 test at 15,559 miles. Such low usage often leads to surface corrosion on braking components, as evidenced by the pitted and scored rear brake discs noted in the latest record, which frequently occur when vehicles remain stationary for long periods without regular use. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension to ensure the offside ball joint and the nearside anti-roll bar linkage have been replaced following the 2025 failure. The pitted rear brake discs require evaluation to prevent uneven braking performance or premature pad wear, likely necessitating a replacement soon. Additionally, the front fluid leak noted in 2024 should be verified as dry to ensure it was strictly limited to washer fluid and not a more critical cooling or hydraulic issue.
