2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · DF64 OSC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 76,054 miles resulted in a pass, it failed just one mile prior due to a fractured offside rear coil spring, tyre wear, and a failed bulb bulb. The fact that the parking brake and service brakes only marginally met legal requirements suggests the braking system is nearing the end of its service interval and requires immediate attention to prevent failure. At 76,054 miles, the Mokka has averaged approximately 6,338 miles per year over its twelve-year life, which is consistent with typical low-mileage use. The mileage accumulation shows a steady pattern, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, though it also accounts for the standard mechanical wear seen in the advisories. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and structural integrity. The 2024 advisory regarding play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint indicates a history of steering geometry wear that should be verified for current play. Furthermore, the 2023 report of a corroded front subframe is a significant concern for a vehicle of this age; it is vital to ensure that this corrosion has not progressed into structural perforation, which would render the car unroadworthy. Given the recurring issues with thin brake pads and worn tyres, a thorough check of the entire braking and suspension assembly is essential to ensure no further hidden costs are lurking.
