2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · SC18 AHL

The Vauxhall Mokka passed its most recent MOT on 15 July 2026 at 40,108 miles, but the result follows a failure just two days earlier on 13 July 2026 at 40,068 miles. The maintenance trend is stable overall, with three consecutive clean passes from July 2023 to July 2025, yet the sudden July 2026 failure shows a sharp but quickly rectified mechanical fault. The tester failed the car for an offside front coil spring fractured or broken and repeated near side front tyre wear close to the legal limit with slight cracking. The owner corrected the spring and presented the car for a pass, though the tyre advisories carried over unchanged. Recorded mileage sits at 40,108 over roughly eight years, an average of about 5,014 miles per year. The July 2023 test at 25,592 miles, July 2024 at 32,160, and July 2025 at 36,571 show steady annual use near 6,000 miles. A modest 3,537 miles then accrued to the July 2026 tests. Low mileage for age suggests lighter commuting use, though the repeated tyre edge wear and the fractured spring indicate the car was not always parked carefully or inspected between tests. A buyer should inspect the offside front suspension in person to confirm the replacement coil spring matches the opposite side and shows no disturbed mountings or worn suspension bushes. The near side front tyre remains worn on the edge and perishing; this points to neglected alignment or infrequent tyre checks across the ownership. Replace that tyre before further use. Given the clean 2023 to 2025 records, no corrosion, brake, or emission faults appear in the history. The July 2026 events read as isolated consumable and spring failure rather than systemic decline. Verify the repair invoice for the spring and check all four tyres for age cracking before purchase.
