2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DP63 MUM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in September 2025 at 70,590 miles passed despite a non-excessive oil leak. While the car has passed its last three tests, the record shows a pattern of components only being addressed once they reach a failure point or advisory threshold, particularly regarding suspension and exhaust systems. At 70,590 miles over ten years, the Mokka averages approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical low-to-mid range usage. The mileage accumulation between tests is steady, with roughly 7,500 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 8,000 miles between August 2024 and September 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle is not sat excessively, though the low mileage does not exempt the rubber components and seals from degrading over time. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine bay for the source of the oil leak noted in 2025 to ensure it remains a minor weeping seal rather than a failing gasket. The history shows a recurring disregard for tyre condition, moving from perished sidewalls in 2023 to both front tyres reaching the legal limit in 2024. The current tyre set should be checked for uneven wear, which would indicate alignment issues following the previous coil spring failure. The suspension system warrants close attention following the fractured offside rear coil spring recorded in 2023. While this was repaired to pass the test, the buyer should check the remaining springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion. Given that the rear brake pads were flagged as thin in 2022, a physical inspection of the remaining thickness is necessary to ensure the components have not reached the end of their life since that advisory.
