2012 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · WU62 OJO

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 13 August 2025 at 73,077 miles, indicating it is roadworthy for the time being, but the test flagged thin front and rear brake pads and a minor leak in the central front exhaust flexi pipe. The earlier failure on the same date for tyre tread and a rear‑tyre tear was remedied, showing an improvement in tyre condition while the brake and exhaust concerns remain unchanged. Across a fourteen‑year span the mileage has risen from 17,500 miles in October 2015 to 73,077 miles in August 2025, averaging roughly 5,200 miles per year. The progression is steady, with no sudden spikes that would suggest periods of heavy use. Such low annual mileage is consistent with light‑duty operation, reducing the likelihood of accelerated wear on major drivetrain components, though it does not eliminate the need to check consumables that can deteriorate regardless of use. A prospective buyer should verify the brake pad thickness on both axles, ensuring they are above the minimum safe limit, and confirm that the exhaust flexi pipe is free of cracks or excessive corrosion. Inspect the rear tyres for any signs of structural damage or uneven wear, as a previous tear indicates the potential for hidden weakness. The near‑side front lower suspension arm ball‑joint dust cover should be examined for dirt ingress, and the overall condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs should be assessed for any signs of fatigue. Finally, check that the registration plates are legible and that there is no rust affecting structural integrity.
