2022 Vauxhall Mokka SRI Premium Turbo 1.2L Petrol · WM22 GCF

The 2022 Vauxhall Mokka presents an exceptionally clean DVSA MOT history, with the most recent test on 24 February 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, and the prior examination on 6 August 2025 also returning a clean pass. Two consecutive advisories-free tests indicate that the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory roadworthy standard at the time of inspection, and there are no recurring failure points, wear trends, or flagged advisories that would suggest developing mechanical concerns. The absence of any documented issues across braking, suspension, lighting, tyres, or exhaust systems provides reassurance that the car has not exhibited any of the common MOT failure categories. For a four-year-old vehicle, this clean record is a positive indicator of consistent maintenance, though it does not obviate the need for a thorough physical inspection given the relatively low annual mileage. The recorded mileage of 23,701 miles against a four-year age equates to an annual accumulation of approximately 5,925 miles, which is notably below the typical UK average and indicates that this Mokka has seen either light daily use or has experienced periods of standing. While lower mileage generally preserves the longevity of major drivetrain components, prolonged standing periods can introduce their own set of age-related concerns. The turbocharged 1.2-litre engine benefits from regular running to maintain oil circulation through the turbo bearings and to prevent coolant system degradation. The relatively short MOT history provided, with only two tests recorded since the vehicle's third anniversary, is consistent with the testing threshold introduced for vehicles under four years old, but prospective buyers should verify that any pre-2024 servicing or early MOT records have been considered when evaluating overall mechanical condition. Given the clean MOT record and the low-mileage profile, the physical inspection should focus predominantly on time-related degradation rather than wear-based concerns. Tyre sidewalls should be examined carefully for perishing or cracking, as rubber compounds deteriorate with age regardless of tread depth, and any tyres fitted prior to 2022 should be replaced regardless of remaining tread. Brake discs and calipers are particularly susceptible to corrosion from standing, with surface rust accumulation potentially leading to binding calipers, uneven pad wear, or brake shudder under heavy application. A test drive should include several moderate to firm brake applications from higher speeds to detect any pulsation through the pedal or vibration through the steering. Additionally, listen for any scraping or grinding noises from the front axle area that might indicate seized caliper slider pins, which is a common issue on low-use vehicles. Beyond the braking system, attention should be directed toward the 12-volt battery condition, as a battery that has spent considerable time on a partially discharged state or has experienced only short journeys will have reduced cranking capacity and lifespan. Verify the battery's age stamp and consider a load test if possible. The coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid all degrade with calendar age rather than mileage alone, so service history documentation should be reviewed to confirm that time-based fluid changes have been carried out at the manufacturer's recommended intervals, particularly the brake fluid which typically requires replacement every two years regardless of mileage due to its hygroscopic nature. The turbocharger system, intercooler hoses, and charge pipes should be visually inspected for any signs of oil leakage or perished rubber, and a careful listen during startup and idle for any turbo whistle or bearing rumble is recommended. Finally, ensure that the vehicle has been started and run to operating temperature during any inspection, as some low-mileage faults only manifest when systems reach full working temperature.
