2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DF15 NMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 80,277 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior. The record shows a recurring failure to address essential consumables and suspension components until they reach the point of legal failure. The persistent presence of an oil leak and low coolant levels in the latest tests suggests that the owner monitors fluids only when prompted rather than performing routine preventative inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between January 2024 at 68,037 miles and December 2024 at 75,021 miles, though the vehicle covered over 7,000 miles in that period. The recent accumulation of 5,200 miles in just five months indicates a recent period of higher usage, which explains the accelerated wear noted on the suspension and braking system. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the history shows a chronic issue with ball joints, track rod ends, and Macpherson strut bushes spanning from 2024 to 2026. The tester flagged mechanical play and thin brake pads in late 2024, suggesting the front braking components may be nearing the end of their service life. The repeated tyre cracking and perishing on the nearside rear indicates the rubber is aging poorly despite the relatively low mileage. Additionally, the source of the oil leak needs professional identification to ensure it remains a minor gasket issue rather than a more significant engine fault that could lead to overheating.
