2015 VAUXHALL MOKKA1.6L Diesel

The vehicle's recent MOT history indicates a declining maintenance trend characterized by an increase in mechanical and consumable failures. While the most recent test on 8 April 2026 at 106,898 miles resulted in a pass, the inspector noted a chip in the windscreen and items obstructing the driver's view. This follows a period of instability between April 2025 and April 2026 where the car failed multiple tests due to issues with wiper operation, side repeater colour, and tyre integrity. The recurring nature of these faults suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 55,408 miles in September 2018 to the current 106,898 miles. This steady usage pattern avoids the risks associated with long periods of inactivity but confirms the vehicle has undergone significant mechanical wear over its eleven-year lifespan. A prospective buyer must closely inspect the braking system and front suspension. The records show a persistent issue with imbalanced front brakes noted in April 2025, and the offside front lower suspension arm bush has been flagged as worn or excessively worn in multiple tests between March 2024 and April 2025. These components require physical verification to ensure they have been adequately repaired rather than merely patched to pass the test. Attention should also be paid to the rear suspension and exhaust system. The 2019 test highlighted misting shock absorbers and exhaust corrosion, which may have progressed given the age of the vehicle. Finally, the 2024 advisory regarding a potential engine timing chain rattle warrants a cold start inspection to rule out significant mechanical deterioration. Given the recent history of tyre cuts and wiper failures, a thorough check of all consumables is necessary.
