2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DP65 OBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of recurring reactive repairs. While it passed the most recent test on 29 May 2026 at 74,595 miles, it failed just one mile prior due to multiple mechanical and electrical faults. The persistence of an oil leak across the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests that the previous owners only addressed issues when forced by a failure rather than following a proactive maintenance schedule. At 11 years old, the recorded 74,595 miles represent an average of approximately 6,781 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between June 2024 and May 2025, and another 8,600 miles in the year leading to the latest test. This steady mileage indicates the car has not sat for long periods, though the age has likely contributed to the degradation of rubber components and suspension parts seen in the record. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension assembly, as the tester flagged a severely deteriorated nearside front lower ball joint dust cover and a worn nearside upper MacPherson strut pin or bush in 2026. These components are nearing the end of their service life and require monitoring. The buyer should also verify the repair of the tyre pressure monitoring system, which caused failures in both 2025 and 2026, and check the source of the persistent engine oil leak to ensure it does not stem from a failing gasket or seal. Given the fractured nearside rear coil spring noted in May 2025, the remaining springs should be inspected for signs of corrosion or stress fractures to ensure the opposite side has not suffered similar fatigue. The lack of recorded defects in the 2024 test suggests the vehicle is capable of maintaining a clean condition, but the recent suspension and electrical failures indicate that the car is entering a phase where more frequent component replacement will be necessary.
