2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DL64 AWA

This 2015 Vauxhall Mokka has covered approximately 95,403 miles, averaging around 8,673 miles per year. This is typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, suggesting a standard amount of wear on consumables and mechanical components rather than heavy commercial use or excessive periods of sitting idle. The recent MOT history shows a worrying trend of worsening maintenance. While the vehicle had clean passes in 2023 and 2024, the most recent inspection in October 2025 revealed several significant safety issues. Although it eventually passed, the failure included worn front tyres, thin front brake pads, and critically thin rear brake pads (less than 1.5mm). The pattern suggests that the vehicle is currently being run on its limits regarding consumable parts. The transition from a single steering component failure in 2024 to multiple tyre and braking issues in 2025 indicates that maintenance is likely reactive rather than proactive. This shift from a relatively clean history to multiple simultaneous defects is a red flag for the vehicle's current upkeep. The most immediate risks are related to the braking system and tyre condition. Given that the pads were flagged as thin or near the legal limit very recently, you must ensure that all four corners of the car have had recent, documented replacements.
