2023 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate Turbo 1.2L Petrol · SL23 CWM

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 5 August 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from January 2026, indicating a highly stable maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded failures or cautionary notes suggests the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets all statutory safety and environmental standards without the need for corrective repairs during its recent inspections. With a recorded mileage of 12,300 miles over approximately three years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 4,100 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average, implying minimal mechanical wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension components. However, such low annual usage often suggests the car has been used for short urban trips or has spent extended periods stationary, which can introduce specific maintenance concerns that differ from those found on high-mileage examples. Given the clean MOT history and low mileage, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be on components that degrade over time rather than through use. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber compounds can harden and lose integrity even if the tread remains deep. Similarly, the brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, and the pedal feel during a test drive should be checked for any signs of binding calipers or shuddering, which can occur when a vehicle is left standing for long intervals. Prospective buyers should also verify the 12V battery health and review the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed based on calendar intervals rather than mileage alone. Engine oil degrades over time regardless of distance travelled, and neglecting time-based servicing can lead to sludge buildup. Finally, during the test drive, listen for any dryness in the suspension bushes or unusual noises from the drivetrain that may result from infrequent lubrication or the effects of low-speed city driving.
