2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · X11 MBD

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a worsening trend regarding corrosion and consumable wear, despite passing its most recent test in March 2026. While the vehicle remains legal, the most recent inspection at 43,750 miles flagged multiple issues including a corroded offside front suspension arm, corroded fuel pipes, and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. The recurrence of minor failures, such as the windscreen wiper issues seen in 2024 and 2025, suggests a pattern of deferred maintenance for basic consumables. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,375 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation from 15,423 miles in 2019 to 43,750 miles in 2026, indicating consistent but light usage. This low annual mileage often correlates with the perishing and cracking of rubber components, a trend already evident in the 2022 record where all four tyres were flagged for cracking or perishing. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the corrosion. The tester specifically noted a corroded suspension arm and rusty filler pipes in the March 2026 test, following previous reports of brake hose ferrule corrosion in 2024 and 2025. The presence of structural corrosion on suspension components and fuel lines represents a higher risk than the minor wiper or reflector defects seen previously. Further attention should be given to the tyre condition and the windscreen. The March 2026 test identified a damaged windscreen and a tyre worn on the edge, following a history of nails and perishing rubber. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, the buyer should verify that the fuel lines and suspension components do not require immediate replacement due to the ongoing oxidation issues documented over the last three years.
