2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · BV64 HSD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding front suspension components. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 82,203 miles was a pass, the same offside front lower suspension arm ball joint play that caused a failure in 2024 remains present. This indicates that the owner has opted to tolerate minor mechanical play rather than replacing worn parts once they were first flagged, suggesting a reactive rather than preventative approach to mechanical upkeep. At 82,203 miles over twelve years, the Mokka has averaged approximately 6,850 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small crossover. The mileage accumulation between tests is consistent, with roughly 6,700 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 5,700 miles leading into the 2025 record. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally helps prevent rubber-based components from excessive per. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring issues with ball joints and track rod ends noted between the 2022 and 2025 tests suggest the front steering and suspension assembly are reaching the end of their service. You should also verify the condition of the brakes, as the 2022 record already flagged pitted front discs and thin pads. Given the history of worn tyres reaching legal limits in both 2022 and 2023, checking for current alignment wear patterns is vital to ensure the suspension play is not causing uneven tyre degradation.
