2021 Vauxhall Mokka SRI Premium Turbo 1.2L Petrol · SH71 WWX

The Vauxhall Mokka presents a stable but narrowly compliant roadworthiness profile as of its most recent test on 22 December 2025 at 20,447 miles. The vehicle passed, yet both front tyres were flagged on advisories, indicating the tester identified wear approaching or at the legal minimum. This pattern is not worsening in the traditional mechanical sense, but it reveals a recurring neglect of tyre condition that has persisted across multiple tests. The maintenance trend is essentially flat, with no evidence of proactive component replacement or correction of the underlying wear issue. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2021 vehicle, averaging roughly 4,090 miles per year over five years. Between the January 2025 test at 16,130 miles and the December 2025 test at 20,447 miles, the car covered 4,317 miles in under twelve months, which is consistent with the annual average. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data. The sparse record, limited to two tests, provides a narrow window into the vehicle's history, but what is visible suggests light, steady use rather than prolonged standing or high-mileage neglect. The recurring advisory on front tyre wear, specifically the nearside front outer edge wearing to 1.7mm in December 2025, points to a potential alignment or suspension geometry issue rather than simple underinflation. A buyer should have the front suspension inspected for worn tracking, uneven camber settings, or deteriorated suspension bushes that could be causing the inner or outer shoulder wear pattern. The offside front tyre was also flagged, albeit at 2.9mm to 3.0mm, which is closer to the 1.6mm legal threshold than a prudent owner would allow before replacement. This suggests tyre condition was monitored reactively rather than proactively. Beyond the advisories, the low mileage and short ownership window mean a physical inspection should focus on verifying the structural integrity of the underside, particularly around subframes and suspension mounting points, which can corrode even on low-mileage vehicles if exposed to road salt without adequate underbody protection. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for surface corrosion or binding that can develop during periods of light use or short journeys. The exhaust system and emissions control components warrant a cold-start inspection to confirm no deterioration has occurred despite the modest mileage. Overall, the record shows a mechanically sound vehicle with a specific, recurring tyre wear concern that demands attention before it escalates into a failure.
