2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · DP16 YOO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the car passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 104,656 miles, this followed a failure just six days prior. The mechanical trend shows a recurring failure to address suspension and braking components promptly, with faults only rectified once they reached critical points of failure. The persistent presence of a non-excessive oil leak and misting offside front shock absorbers since 2024 indicates long-term wear that has been largely ignored during the intervening service intervals. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old Vauxhall, averaging approximately 10,466 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 11,706 miles between the August 2023 and September 2024 tests, followed by another 12,441 miles between the 2024 and October 2025 entries. This steady usage suggests regular road miles, which explains the progressive wear seen on consumable items like brake discs and suspension ball joints across the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record shows a history of track rod ends and suspension arm ball joints developing play over multiple years, suggesting the entire steering-related front assembly may be nearing the end of its functional life. The braking system requires close scrutiny, as the rear discs progressed from being worn and pitted in 2024 to significantly worn by the 2025 failure. The buyer should also verify if the oil leak mentioned repeatedly has actually been addressed, as the misting on the offside front shock absorber has remained a constant advisory for over two years without evidence of replacement.
