2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DP65 FCC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear as mileage increases. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 100,376 miles passed, the tester identified a minor exhaust leak, a damaged offside front upper MacPherson strut mounting, and a non-excessive oil leak. These new advisories follow years of intermittent issues, suggesting the vehicle is entering a phase where rubber components and seals require more frequent attention. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression with 4,786 miles driven between February 2025 and February 2026, and another 4,824 miles in the preceding year. This regular usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which helps prevent seal degradation, but it also explains the gradual wear on the suspension and braking components noted throughout the history. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and engine integrity. The history notes a failure in early 2023 for a nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, followed by the damaged strut mounting flagged in 2026; these areas should be checked for play or signs of excessive bushing movement. Additionally, the recurring oil and coolant leaks noted in 2024 and 2026 indicate a need to inspect the engine bay for active weeping and ensure these leaks are not progressing into a more significant mechanical failure. The offside rear brake disc wear mentioned in 2025 also warrants verification to ensure the caliper is not binding or the disc thinning beyond minimum limits.
