2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DL15 EXC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative upkeep. In the most recent test in January 2026 at 78,383 miles, the tester flagged a fluctuating front service brake and a worn offside front suspension arm bush. While the vehicle passed, the presence of these issues shortly after a previous failure in early 2025 suggests that components are being replaced only upon reaching failure thresholds rather than during scheduled service intervals. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 10,000 miles between June 2022 (60,912 miles) and June 2023 (71,600 miles), followed by a steady accumulation of roughly 7,000 miles annually over the following three years. This low annual mileage often indicates short-distance urban driving, which explains the recurring perishing and cracking of artwork components like tyres noted in the 2025 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the history shows repeated faults with the offside arm ball joint and bushes. The fluctuating front brakes identified in January 2026 indicate likely warped or thin discs that will soon require replacement to ensure consistent stopping. Additionally, the recurring mention of perished tyres and uneven wear patterns across 2022 and 2025 suggests that the rubber components are aging significantly despite the relatively low mileage, necessitating a check of all four tyres for sidewall cracking and structural integrity.
