2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · BL17 DYC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in January 2026 at 78,310 miles shows a pass only six days after a significant failure where all four brake pads were measured below the legal 1.5mm limit. This indicates that the owner only addresses critical components once they reach the point of failure rather than following scheduled maintenance intervals. The persistent oil leak noted in January remains an unresolved issue that requires further monitoring. At 78,310 miles over nine years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a car of this age. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 8,500 miles driven between October 2022 and October 2023, and another 8,700 miles covered between October 2023 and December 2024. While the mileage itself is stable, the frequency of brake-related failures suggests the vehicle may be subjected to standard wear that is being neglected between annual inspections. A buyer must perform a thorough inspection of the braking system and exhaust assembly. The recurring reports of thin brake pads across 2023, 2024, and 2026 suggest the brake discs may be scored or thinned due to prolonged use without replacement. The exhaust flexi leak identified in both 2023 and 2024 should be checked for structural integrity, as these leaks often worsen and lead to emissions failures. Additionally, the perishing cracking on the rear tyres noted in 2023 and 2026 indicates the rubber compound is aging and likely requires replacement regardless of remaining tread depth.
