2019 VAUXHALL MOKKA1.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a shift from perfect maintenance to mechanical degradation. While the car passed its test in August 2025 at 39,007 miles, it followed a significant failure just two miles prior. This transition from a clean record in 2024 to a list of defects in 2025 suggests that components are now reaching the end of their functional life due to age rather than high-mile wear. The mileage profile is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 18,381 miles in 2022 to 39,007 miles in 2025. However, the gap of 6,072 miles between September 2024 and August 2025 coincides with the appearance of multiple faults. Low annual usage often leads to dry rot in rubber components and seals, which is evidenced by the perished offside rear tyre noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer must focus on the suspension and cooling system issues identified during the 2025 failure. The tester flagged fractured rear coil springs, play in the nearside front strut top mounting, and a torn ball joint dust cover. These issues indicate the vehicle's suspension geometry is beginning to fail. Additionally, the recorded coolant seepage from the thermostat housing and the deteriorating exhaust flexi-pipe represent active leaks that require monitoring to prevent future engine overheating or emission failures. A physical inspection should confirm that the repairs following the August 2025 failure were completed to a professional standard.
