2015 VAUXHALL MOKKA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean history to emerging reactive maintenance. The most recent test in August 2025 at 36,908 miles identified multiple advisories that were absent in previous years. While the car passed the test, the presence of an exhaust leak, thinning brake pads, and worn tyres indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase requiring more mechanical attention after a period of relative stability. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,355 miles per year. Between August 2024 and August 2025, the car covered only 6,033 miles, suggesting very light use or long stationary periods. This low usage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion due to lack of regular movement. The clean records from 2022 and 2024 suggest the vehicle was well-maintained during periods of operation. A buyer must inspect the front exhaust system specifically for the flexi pipe leak noted in the 2025 test, as these components often deteriorate rapidly if not addressed. The advisory for thin rear brake pads and worn-edge tyres on the front suggests that consumables are now reaching the end of their service life. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should also check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes, which are common issues on Vauxhall models that sit idle for extended periods.
