2014 VAUXHALL MOKKA1.7L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 13 February 2026 at 97,192 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of intermittent neglect regarding consumables, though the vehicle has consistently passed after addressing specific mechanical failures. A recent failure on 12 February 2026 due to a fractured offside rear coil spring indicates that suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the history suggests a pattern where faults are rectified only when they reach a failure threshold. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 51,049 miles in April 2023 to 82,037 miles in March 2025, and finally 97,192 miles in February 2026. This steady progression suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation. The increase in mileage between 2024 and 2026 is particularly notable, showing a higher rate of use compared to the earlier years of the vehicle's life. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering systems. The MOT history flags recurring issues with suspension components, including a ball joint dust cover failure in April 2023, slight play in the front upper suspension mounts in March 2025, and the broken coil spring in February 2026. These findings suggest that the bushings, mounts, and springs are subject to significant wear. Checking for any signs of play in the steering rack or uneven tyre wear will be necessary to ensure these issues have been fully resolved. The braking system and tyres also require close scrutiny. The 2019 failure for binding rear brakes and thin pads, combined with the 2020 advisory for worn front discs, indicates that the braking hardware requires periodic replacement. The record also shows frequent advisories regarding tyre condition, including cuts and edge wear in 2023 and 2024. While the vehicle passed its most recent test without these issues, the history of tyre and brake component wear suggests that a buyer should verify the remaining life of all consumables before purchase.
