2012 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · CK62 TFZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 10 March 2026 at 120,758 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the preceding failure just five days earlier indicates a period of neglected maintenance. The March 2026 failure highlighted significant wear, specifically regarding the offside rear brake disc and rear brake pads, alongside both front tyres falling below the legal 1.6mm limit. This pattern of allowing consumables to reach critical failure points suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 47,818 miles in 2015 to the current 120,758 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, though the interval between the 2021 and 2022 tests shows a slight shift in testing dates. The steady mileage suggests regular use, which helps prevent certain types of seizure, but the mechanical history shows that components are being run to their limits. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows a recurring trend of suspension wear, with various Macpherson strut pins, bushes, and ball joints flagged between 2019 and 2025. The 2022 test specifically noted worn suspension arm bushes and strut pins, while the 2025 test recorded slight movement in the front suspension arm bushes. These issues often indicate that the vehicle's handling and ride quality may be compromised if these components have not been systematically replaced. Braking components also require close scrutiny. The record shows a long-standing pattern of thinning pads and worn discs, with failures or advisories appearing in 2016, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2026. Although the March 2026 pass suggests the immediate issues were rectified, the frequency of these faults implies that the braking system may have experienced uneven wear or binding issues over time. Checking for any residual corrosion on the brake hoses or uneven pad wear during a test drive is highly recommended.
