2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · DN15 YEU

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-16 showed a pass with minor notes about the front anti-roll bar linkage being modified but not seriously weakened. This suggests some repair work was done after the prior failure. However, the previous MOT on 2025-07-30 revealed a failure with multiple critical issues, including a non-functional engine MIL, incorrect headlamp aim, excessive wear on multiple suspension ball joints, damaged track rod end dust covers, and tyre condition problems. These indicate significant mechanical and safety concerns. A recurring pattern of suspension component wear and electrical/alignment issues is evident. The 2025 failure highlighted excessive wear on nearside and offside front suspension arm ball joints, while earlier MOTs (2024-08-01 and 2023-08-04) noted similar suspension dust cover failures and brake disc wear. The 2025-07-30 failure also included an oil leak, parking brake inefficiency, and tyres near or below legal limits, which are serious safety risks. These issues suggest ongoing mechanical degradation , particularly in suspension and tyre systems. The condition trend appears worsening . The 2025 failure had more severe and numerous defects compared to earlier MOTs, including critical issues like the engine MIL inoperative and tyre ply exposure.
