2019 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · SE19 YJM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift towards age-related material degradation. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 23,047 miles passed, it introduced advisories for all four tyres due to perishing and cracking. This marks a departure from the clean record seen in 2025, suggesting the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, causing rubber components to degrade despite low mechanical use. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage intervals, moving from 7,935 miles in April 2022 to 23,047 miles by early 2026. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and suspension, yet it significantly increases the risk of dry rot in seals and tyre rubber, which aligns with the findings found in the latest MOT report. A buyer must specifically address the recurring oil leak advisory which appeared in both January 2024 and January 2026. Although the tester classified these as non-excessive, the persistence of the leak indicates a degrading gasket or seal that requires monitoring to prevent future escalation. Additionally, the deteriorated exhaust flexi noted in early 2024 should be inspected for signs of further corrosion or failure, and all four tyres require immediate replacement regardless of remaining tread depth due to structural damage to the rubber. Given the vehicle's low-mileage profile, inspection should verify the brake calipers for seizing and the suspension bushes for cracking, as these components suffer when vehicles are not driven regularly. The lack of structural corrosion notes in the history suggests the integrity of the bodywork is sound, but the focus must remain on fluid leaks and rubber-based components identified by the DVSA tester.
