2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DP65 ETZ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. The most recent test in October 2025 at 99,238 miles shows a pass following a failure for a broken offside rear coil spring and a malfunctioning TPMS system. While the immediate safety failures were addressed, the recurring presence of exhaust flexi deterioration and brake-related issues across multiple years suggests that components are only replaced once they reach the point of MOT failure. At 99,238 miles over 11 years, the Mokka has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family crossover. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 11,000 miles driven between October 2023 and November 2024, and another 8,000 miles covered in the year leading up to the latest test. This regularity suggests steady use rather than long periods, which explains the standard wear on consumables like tyres and brakes noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2024 test flagged a significant 51% imbalance across the front axle, and the 2025 record noted pitted and scored nearside rear brake discs, necessitating a check for seized calipers or uneven pad wear. Furthermore, the history of play in track rod ends and tie rod arms from 2023 indicates that the steering components are nearing the end of their service and should be inspected for movement. The exhaust flexi remains a persistent issue, appearing in at least three consecutive tests, while the non-excessive oil leak noted in 2025 requires monitoring to ensure it does not stem from a failing gasket seal. The buyer should also verify that the TPMS sensor failure from October 2025 has been properly rectified and inspect the rear suspension area for signs of corrosion, ensuring the recent replacement of the fractured coil spring has not introduced secondary issues to the mounting points.
