2019 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DN19 EMX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward mechanical neglect. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 61,529 miles, it failed just one day prior due to an inoperative engine management light and an oil leak. The presence of a malfunctioning MIL light is a significant concern as it prevents the tester from detecting potential engine faults or emissions failures, suggesting that a critical diagnostic fault was cleared or bypassed rather than fully repaired before the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 3,313 miles covered between March 2023 and May 2024, and another 7,894 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This regularity suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, though the jump in mileage in the final year indicates a higher intensity of use or perhaps a period where routine maintenance might have been deferred until the MOT interval. A buyer must inspect the engine bay to identify the source of the oil leak flagged in May 2026, as even minor leaks can indicate aging gaskets gaskets or seal failures given the vehicle's age. The 2025 record highlights a history of poor tyre management, with four tyres flagged for wear and perishing, indicating the previous owner likely only replaced consumables when forced by legal limits. A thorough diagnostic scan is required to ensure that the previously inoperative MIL light is not masking underlying sensor issues or catalytic converter damage that could lead to expensive repairs shortly.
