2019 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · DP19 NLD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a decline in proactive care regarding minor components. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 66,062 miles, this followed a failure just one mile prior. That failure identified multiple issues including defective wipers, perished tyres, and compromised suspension ball joint dust covers. The recurrence of these faults suggests that the owner is only addressing defects once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance between the annual inspections. At 66,062 miles over seven years, the Mokka averages approximately 9,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family car. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with intervals of roughly 8,000 to 15,000 miles between annual tests from 2023 to 2026. This steady usage pattern indicates the vehicle is used regularly, though the low mileage relative to the age explains why rubber-based components like tyres and wipers are showing signs of age despite the relatively low distance driven. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the tester flagged torn ball joint dust covers on both sides in the May 2026 failure. These boots allow grit and moisture to enter the joints, which leads to premature wear and steering play. Furthermore, the persistent history of perishing and cracking tyres across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 records indicates that the rubber compound is reaching the end of its functional life due to age rather than tread depth. Check the sidewalls for deep cracking and ensure the windscreen wiper blades have been replaced with high-quality units to restore visibility as previously required by the tester.
