2014 VAUXHALL MOKKA1.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the latest test in October 2025 at 78,056 miles passed with only a minor oil leak noted, the previous year indicated a period of mechanical neglect. In November 2024, the car failed its initial test at 72,543 miles due to multiple issues including suspension-related fluid leaks and an insecure front spoiler. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its twelve-year life. Between November 2022 and November 2023, the car covered 7,542 miles with no recorded defects. However, the subsequent 7,937 miles driven into the vehicle introduced mechanical concerns. The failure of the suspension arm ball joint dust covers on both nearside and offside fronts suggests that rubber components are beginning to perish or reach their service limit despite the relatively low mileage. A buyer must focus closely on the cooling system to ensure the coolant leak identified in late 2024 has been fully rectified and is not indicative of head gasket strain. The oil leak flagged in the most recent 2025 test requires a physical inspection to determine if it is a simple seal or a more significant engine leak. Additionally, the front suspension should be checked for play in the joints, as the previous failure of the dust covers indicates that the ball joints are exposed to grit, which will lead to premature wear.
