2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DP65 FCM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and braking components. The most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 192,323 miles resulted in a failure due to a worn nearside track rod end and thin front tyres. While the vehicle passed immediately after repairs, the tester flagged play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint and thinning front brake pads. This indicates that the owner is only addressing faults once they fail a test rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 192,323 miles, this 2015 Vauxhall Mokka has covered a significant distance, averaging over 17,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent and heavy usage, with 21,000 miles driven between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 15,000 miles in the year leading to the latest test. This high-frequency operation typically suggests long-distance motorway use, which naturally accelerates the degradation of rubber bushes, ball joints, and braking hardware. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with track rod ends and ball joints. You should specifically check for lateral play in the steering linkage and suspension arms to ensure previous repairs were fully executed. The braking system requires close attention; the recent history of thin pads and worn discs suggests the front assembly may be nearing the end of its functional life. Given the high mileage, an inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is also essential, as these are common points of failure on vehicles of this age and usage level.
