2021 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate Edition EV Electric · T22 WAP

The most recent MOT conducted on 22 July 2026 returned a full pass with no recorded defects, mirroring the clean results from the previous tests in July 2025 and September 2024. This uninterrupted series of passes indicates a consistently stable maintenance regime, with no emerging safety‑critical issues evident in the official DVSA records. The absence of advisory notes also suggests that any routine servicing required by the manufacturer has been kept up to date, or at least that any overdue items have not yet manifested as MOT‑visible faults. At 27,925 miles on the odometer, the 2021 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate Edition EV averages roughly 5,600 miles per annum – markedly below the typical UK usage pattern for a five‑year‑old vehicle. Such low annual mileage often points to predominantly short‑range or occasional journeys, possibly interspersed with periods of inactivity. While reduced wear benefits components such as suspension bushings, tyre tread, and brake pads, prolonged standing can encourage tyre side‑wall perishing, corrosion of brake discs that have seen little heat cycling, and the gradual degradation of the 12‑volt auxiliary battery and coolant over calendar time rather than mileage. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be on age‑related, time‑based items. Inspect the tyre tread depth and, more importantly, the condition of the sidewalls for cracking, dry rot, or bulging, as rubber can deteriorate even on low‑mileage tyres. Examine the wheels and brake discs for surface rust or uneven corrosion, which can cause a shudder or vibration when the regenerative system is disengaged and the friction brakes are applied. Verify the health of the 12‑volt battery – a voltage test and load check will reveal whether it can sustain the vehicle’s electronic systems, especially when the high‑voltage pack is idle. Confirm that the high‑voltage battery coolant has been replaced in line with Vauxhall’s service schedule, as coolant breakdown can lead to thermal management issues that are not evident in an MOT. Finally, request a full service history and ensure that the vehicle’s on‑board software has received all manufacturer updates, as EVs rely heavily on firmware for battery management and charging safety. Check the charging port and cable for signs of wear, corrosion, or loose connections, and confirm that the vehicle’s range and charging times are consistent with the specifications for a 2021 Mokka EV. A brief test drive should be free of unusual noises from the suspension, should feel smooth under acceleration with no hesitation, and should exhibit regenerative braking that feels progressive rather than abrupt. If these checks are satisfactory, the low mileage and clean MOT record suggest a mechanically sound vehicle, provided the time‑based components have been duly maintained.
