2016 VAUXHALL MOKKA1.6L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 26, 2026 at 66,098 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a recent trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. A failure just three weeks prior on June 4, 2026 at 66,095 miles highlighted several critical issues including a worn front suspension arm ball joint dust cover and a failing offside anti-roll bar linkage. While these faults appear to have been rectified, the frequency of recent failures suggests that components are only addressed when strictly necessary to pass the annual test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between November 2022 (42,391 miles) and October 2024 (59,381 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly 17,000 miles in two years. Since then, usage has accelerated slightly, with over 7,000 miles recorded in the last nine months. This increase in usage correlates with the more frequent wear on consumables and suspension components seen in the 2025 and 2026 test cycles. Specific attention should be paid to the front suspension and braking system. The record shows recurring issues with front brake discs and pads, with fluctuating brakes noted back in 2022 and seen again in late 2025. The 2025 failure also flagged imbalanced rear brakes and pitted discs, indicating potential caliper sticking or long-term neglect. A buyer should verify that the recent anti-roll bar linkage and ball joint repairs were executed with quality, as these were primary points of failure in the most recent inspection. The intermittent engine management light and tyre pressure system failure in June 2026 also warrant a diagnostic check to ensure electronic faults were fully cleared and not merely reset.
