2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · DL67 VMM

The vehicle presents a fluctuating maintenance history that suggests reactive rather than proactive ownership. While the most recent MOT on July 4, 2025, at 90,398 miles passed, it initially failed due to significant structural and wear-related issues. The failure caused by a fractured offside rear coil spring and low coolant levels, combined with recurring advisories on front tyres and brake discs, indicates that the owner only addresses faults when forced by a test failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 90,398 miles over nine years, the Mokka averages approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a family vehicle. The record shows a significant gap of 12,658 miles between the July 2024 and 2025 tests, indicating consistent use. However, the July 2024 test at 77,742 miles revealed critical failures in the parking brake and suspension ball joint dust covers, showing that the mechanical components are subject to accelerated wear or potential neglect despite the moderate mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The history shows 2024 failures on ball joint dust covers and 2025 advisories on pitted front brake discs, which necessitates a check for play in the steering geometry and excessive corrosion on rotors. The fractured rear coil spring in 2025 suggests that the remaining springs should be inspected for heavy corrosion or stress fractures. Given the low coolant level reported in the 2025 failure, the cooling system should also be tested for leaks or a failing water pump to prevent engine overheating.
