VAUXHALL MOKKA2015 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a sharp decline in maintenance standards. While it passed its most recent test on 17 April 2026 at 84,239 miles, this followed two consecutive failures in March and April of the same year. The trend shows a clear transition from a perfectly clean record in 2024 and 2025 to a period of reactive maintenance where the owner appears to only address essential faults when forced by an MOT failure. The mileage profile remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. The car covered 8,512 miles between the March 2024 test at 69,376 miles and the March 2025 test at 77,888 miles, followed by another 6,351 miles leading up to the April 2026 failures. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, yet the cluster of failures within a single month indicates that the vehicle was not being proactively maintained between these annual inspections. A buyer must inspect the front suspension assembly thoroughly, as the March 2026 test flagged an excessively worn offside front arm ball joint and a compromised dust cover. These issues often lead to play in the steering and uneven tyre wear if not corrected. The braking system also requires close attention; the record shows an inoperative parking brake and a binding offside rear service brake that failed efficiency requirements. These faults suggest a seized caliper or corroded adjuster mechanism that should be checked for free movement to ensure long-term reliability. The front tyres were noted as being near the legal limit in both April 2026 tests, specifically being worn on the edge. This indicates a potential alignment issue or neglect of the previously worn suspension components. Given the recent mechanical failures regarding the brakes and suspension, the buyer should verify that the repairs made prior to the April 17th pass were comprehensive rather than merely temporary fixes to obtain a certificate.
