2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · CE67 JZT

The 2017 Vauxhall Mokka presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 1 September 2025 at 57,112 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean result followed a failure on the same day for a degraded Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover, indicating the fault was identified and rectified promptly within the same testing session. The trajectory from 2023 to 2025 shows a clear resolution pattern: advisories and failures have diminished year on year, suggesting the most recent keeper has addressed outstanding items rather than allowing defects to accumulate. The mileage profile is consistent and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. At approximately 6,346 miles per year, the Mokka sits squarely within typical annual usage. The progression from 28,375 miles in September 2022 to 38,793 miles in September 2023, then to 47,298 miles in September 2024, and finally 57,112 miles in September 2025, shows steady accumulation of roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles per annum in recent years. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of inactivity. The MOT record is complete and consecutive, with annual tests filed on or around the same date each year, which supports a pattern of regular upkeep. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and braking components, given the recurring attention these systems have drawn. The 2023 test flagged both front tyres worn to the legal limit and rear brake discs worn, pitted, or scored. Although the 2025 pass suggests these items have since been replaced, verifying the condition of the current tyres and brake discs and calipers is prudent. Pay particular attention to the nearside front lower suspension arm, as the ball joint dust joint failure in September 2025 points to a vulnerability in that seal. Check for play in the joint itself and inspect the surrounding area for corrosion or ingress of road debris that could accelerate wear. The 2022 advisory for cracking or perishing on the nearside front tyre also warrants a close look at the overall tyre condition, including sidewalls and date codes, to confirm whether all four tyres have been replaced as a set or individually. Given the steady mileage accumulation, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be examined for fatigue, particularly at the front end. A short test drive over uneven surfaces will reveal any knocking or vagueness that could indicate the ball joint or its neighbouring components have not been fully restored to standard.
