2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · BP17 RWF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in mechanical component degradation. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 54,434 miles, this followed two failures just four days prior. This sequence suggests the owner is only addressing faults when necessary to pass the MOT test rather than performing preventative maintenance. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple failures recently highlights a significant decline in the standard of vehicle upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The record shows a stable period between 2020 and 2023, where no defects were noted across 16,000 miles of travel. However, the vehicle covered 18,000 miles between June 2023 and May 2026, during which several suspension and braking issues emerged. This indicates that despite the low annual mileage, rubber components and metal surfaces are failing due to age and exposure rather than distance. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension assembly, given the recurring issues with the nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover and offside front anti-roll bar bushes. These faults have appeared across multiple tests in 2024, 2025, and 2026, suggesting the underlying components may be nearing total failure. The worn offside rear brake disc and front brake disc noted in the May 2026 failures require a close check for thickness to ensure they are not nearing immediate replacement. Additionally, the tyre pressure monitoring system was a failure point in 2026 and should be verified as fully functional.
