2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · CY15 AED

The 2025‑11‑17 MOT at 111,533 miles passed, but recorded minor defects including slight play in the offside front track‑rod end ball joint (2.1.3(b)(i)), an oil leak that was not excessive (8.4.1(a)(i)), a front brake disc showing wear, pitting or scoring without serious weakening (1.1.14(a)(ii)), thin front brake pads (1.1.13(a)(ii)) and an imbalanced front brake condition that barely met requirements (1.2.1(b)(i)). These findings indicate the vehicle remains roadworthy yet shows no clear improvement in underlying mechanical condition; the recurring oil leak and brake wear suggest the maintenance trend is stable rather than improving. Mileage has risen from 38,433 miles in the 2018 test to 111,533 miles in the 2025 test, an average of roughly 10,139 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2015 model. The data show a consistent annual increase with no major gaps, although the jump from 64,677 miles in the 2022 failed test to 85,447 miles in the subsequent 2022 passed test represents a rapid accumulation of 20,770 miles within a single year, indicating periods of heavier use or extended standing periods that may have accelerated wear on consumables. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension components, specifically the track‑rod end ball joint and Macpherson strut pins and bushes for excessive play or wear, verify the condition of the front brake discs and pads and assess whether the recorded imbalance can be corrected, and examine the source and severity of the persistent oil leak. Particular attention should be given to the rear child‑seat mounting area for any hidden structural rust, confirm that the rear exhaust leak noted in 2022 has been remedied, and check tyre tread depth and wear patterns, as the history shows repeated wear on front tyres and near‑side rear brake pads approaching the 1.5 mm limit.
