2013 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · BJ13 CUV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 99,337 miles, the immediate failure just six days prior highlighted multiple mechanical defects. The trend shows a recurring failure to address wear and tear components promptly. The recent failure for a fractured offside rear coil spring and thin rear brake pads indicates that the owner only addresses faults once they reach the point of inspection failure. The mileage progression is consistent with the vehicle's 13-year age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 10,000 miles between the February 2024 test at 78,927 miles and the February 2026 test at 99,337 miles. This regularity suggests the car is used consistently, though the low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues which are not noted in the record. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and front geometry. The February 2026 record flagged fluctuating front brakes and pitted front discs, which often points to warped rotors or sticking calipers. Given the 2025 failure regarding the front suspension arm ball joint dust covers, the buyer should check the entire steering assembly for further signs of play or perished rubber boots. The history of a broken coil spring suggests the suspension components may be nearing the end of their functional life. Tyre maintenance also appears neglected, with multiple advisories for offside rear tyres being worn to the legal limit or perishing between 2024 and 2025. The buyer should verify the current state of structural corrosion in common areas for this Vauxhall model, such as the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT record does not provide detail on the structural integrity beyond the passing status. The recurring discoloured side repeaters are a minor cosmetic concern but reflect a general lack of attention to minor defects.
