2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · FV14 AEG

The vehicle currently holds a passed MOT as of 11 May 2026, but the same day a failure was recorded for an inoperative off‑side rear registration plate lamp and an excessively worn off‑side front lower suspension arm ball joint. Recurring suspension joint wear, noted in 2022 (off‑side front lower arm pin or bush worn) and again in 2025 (ball‑joint dust covers severely deteriorated), points to a worsening trend, whereas tyre and brake alerts have been intermittent and largely resolved at the latest test. At 146,753 miles after twelve years the average annual mileage exceeds twelve thousand, which is high for a Vauxhall Mokka of this age. The record shows a modest rise to 82,223 miles in 2021, then an acceleration to 107,353 miles by May 2024 and 146,753 miles by May 2026, suggesting a period of intensified use in the last two years. A prospective buyer should examine the off‑side front lower suspension arm and its ball joint for excessive play or corrosion, verify that the off‑side rear registration lamp functions correctly, and confirm that all tyre tread depths exceed the 1.6 mm legal minimum. Inspection of the front and rear brake discs for scoring or thinning is advisable, as is a visual check for any chassis rust or structural damage. Confirm that the windscreen damage noted in 2017 remains within acceptable limits.
