2013 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · BP06 ACP

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 19 December 2025. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the majority of failures have been related to minor electrical faults or simple adjustments, such as headlamp aim and registration plate lighting. There is no evidence of systemic structural failure or chronic mechanical neglect, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition with routine attention to basic safety requirements. With a recorded mileage of 90,316 miles over a thirteen-year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,947 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age, avoiding the risks associated with excessive wear from high mileage or the degradation caused by prolonged standing. This balanced usage suggests that the drivetrain and engine components have been exercised regularly, although the mileage is now at a point where several wear and tear consumables may require inspection or replacement. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front suspension, specifically the nearside ball joint. The 2024 record noted a severely deteriorated dust cover; if this has not been replaced, the joint is susceptible to contamination and premature wear. During a test drive, listen for clunking or knocking sounds when turning the steering wheel at low speeds or driving over uneven surfaces. Furthermore, the previous advisory regarding a low handbrake reading suggests the cable may be stretching or the rear shoes may require adjustment. Ensure the handbrake holds the vehicle securely on an incline and check for any unevenness in the pedal feel. Given the history of tyres wearing on the edges, it is essential to inspect the current tread depth and check for irregular wear patterns, which could indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Verify the age of the tyres to ensure the rubber has not perished or developed sidewall cracking. Additionally, as the vehicle is over a decade old, the buyer should verify the service history for evidence of timely oil changes and coolant flushes. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the 12V battery is holding a steady charge, as older vehicles with average mileage often require battery replacement every four to five years.
