2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DN15 EFG

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failure on 26 May 2026 at 87,616 miles. The maintenance trend is worsening, as critical suspension failures are recurring. The most recent test identified an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and a fractured offside rear coil spring, alongside play in the nearside front track rod end. These faults indicate a failure to address developing wear and tear between testing intervals, as the ball joint was flagged as an advisory or failure in previous tests. The mileage data presents a significant inconsistency that requires scrutiny. While the vehicle is 11 years old with an expected annual average of roughly 8,000 miles, the record shows a massive jump from 77,206 miles in June 2024 to 130,361 miles in May 2025. This represents over 53,000 miles driven in a single year, which contradicts the current recorded mileage of 87,616 miles in the 2026 test. This discrepancy suggests either a clerical error in the database or potential odometer tampering, which undermines the reliability of the vehicle's drivetrain wear history. A physical inspection must focus on the entire front end suspension geometry. The recurring nature of fractured coil springs, both on the nearside in 2024 and offside in 2026, suggests the suspension components may be under undue stress or are fatigued. The buyer should inspect all ball joints and track rod ends for signs of play, as these components have shown a pattern of progressive failure. Additionally, verify the functionality of the tyre pressure monitoring system, which was inoperative as of 2025, and ensure all repairs following the 2026 failure are carried out to professional standards rather than temporary fixes.
