2019 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DP19 HBH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding braking components and fluid integrity. While it passed its most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 82,177 miles, it failed immediately prior due to incorrect headlamp aim and significant brake disc corrosion. The persistence of a central front oil leak, described as close to excessive, indicates a developing engine seal or sump issue that has not been adequately addressed despite being flagged in the last two test cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,740 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with 7,848 miles covered between May 2023 and June 2024, and another 21,841 miles between June 2024 and May 2026. This regular accumulation suggests the car is used frequently rather than left sitting for long periods, which generally benefits mechanical components, though it has also accelerated the wear of consumables like the tyres and brake hardware seen in the advisories. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the braking system thoroughly, as pitted and scored discs have been flagged on all four wheels since at least June 2024. The progression from front-only issues to all four wheels showing pitting by 2026 suggests a lack of preventative maintenance or high environmental corrosion. Furthermore, the central front oil leak requires a professional pressure test to determine if the source is a simple gasket or a more costly component failure, given the "close to excessive" classification. Ensure the nearside front headlamp was correctly realigned following the May failure to meet legal visibility standards.
