VAUXHALL MOKKA2015 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 61,767 miles identified a grabbing offside front service brake and a slightly damaged offside front seat belt. While the car passed these advisories, the presence of a binding caliper indicates that the braking system is beginning to develop issues that require attention to prevent uneven pad wear or premature component failure. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 61,767 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,600 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests the vehicle has seen light commuting, but it also explains the age-related degradation elsewhere. The interval between August 2024 and August 2025 shows an accumulation of only 1,974 miles, which, combined with the 2024 failure involving multiple tyres showing perishing and structural bulging, suggests the rubber components are failing due to age and oxidation despite the low mileage. A buyer must inspect the suspension components closely, noting the August 2023 failure for a fractured offside rear coil spring. While this was replaced, the low-use nature of the vehicle often leads to rubber bushes and seals drying out and cracking. The grabbing offside front brake should be tested during a road drive to ensure the caliper piston is not seized or the disc not overheating. Additionally, the offside front seat belt webbing requires inspection for replacement, as frayed webbing can fail under the tension of an impact.
