2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · VN14 LHR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive repairs after several years of clean records. The most recent test in May 2026 at 31,012 miles identified several issues including thin offside front brake pads and two nails embedded in the tyres. While the vehicle passed, the presence of these faults suggests that basic consumable items are only being addressed when they approach a failure threshold rather than being maintained on a proactive service schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,584 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between June 2024 and May 2026, where the car covered only 8,600 miles in nearly two years. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it increases the risk associated with rubber components deforming. The 2022 test at 20,115 miles specifically flagged perishing and cracking on three tyres, which is a classic symptom of long periods of standing rather than high-mile driving. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and braking system, as the history indicates a pattern of neglecting age-related wear. The offside front brake pads require immediate attention or replacement, and the tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking or structural deformation beyond the reported nails. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and rubber hoses for cracking or splitting, as these components degrade over time even when the vehicle is rarely driven. Check for any corrosion on the structural sills and underbody, which remains a common concern for this model regardless of mileage.
