2014 VAUXHALL MOKKA1.7L Diesel

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 86,681 miles identified a severely deteriorated offside front inner drive shaft joint CV boot. While the vehicle passed, this follows a trend of recurring mechanical failures in the suspension and braking systems. The overall condition appears stable in terms of compliance, yet the owner consistently addresses faults only after an MOT failure or advisory is issued. The mileage progression is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 64,999 miles and September 2025 at 86,681 miles, the car covered 21,682 miles, indicating steady usage patterns. There are no significant gaps in mileage that suggest the car sat for long periods, though the low annual mileage relative to its age explains why certain rubber components like suspension bushes and boots show the degradation seen in the record. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows repeated issues with nearside suspension arm ball joints, bushes, and dust covers between 2021 and 2024. The fractured nearside rear coil spring noted in 2023 suggests that the suspension components may be nearing the end of their fatigue-related life. Furthermore, the history of thin brake pads and worn discs in 2019 and 2024 indicates that the braking system is serviced only when components approach failure. Checking the current state of the drive shaft boots is essential to prevent imminent damage to the CV joints.
