2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DL67 HHM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 at 73,153 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of significant concern in the previous year. While the 2024 test revealed multiple mechanical failures, the clean sheet from the subsequent test suggests that the current owner addressed the flagged faults to bring the car back to a passing standard. At 73,153 miles over nine years, the Mokka averages approximately 8,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a family crossover. The data shows consistent use over time, with roughly 16,000 miles driven between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 12,300 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of seals, gaskets, and mechanical components. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the July 2024 failure at 60,300 miles flagged both an inoperative parking brake and overall efficiency issues. Although the vehicle passed later, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the handbrake mechanism may require adjustment or that the rear shoes are nearing the end of their life. The uneven wear on the front tyres noted in 2024 also indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which warrant a physical inspection of the front geometry to ensure no further degradation occurs. The minor exhaust flexi-leak recorded in 2023 at 44,111 miles should also be verified to ensure it was properly replaced and has not developed into a larger leak. Given the age of the vehicle, a visual check for structural-related corrosion around the sills and exhaust outlets is standard practice, though no structural issues have been flagged in the history to date. Focusing the inspection on the state of the brakes and the suspension will provide the most accurate assessment of the car's current mechanical health.
