2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DP66 BZW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in January 2026 at 67,345 miles passed with a minor oil leak noted. This follows a significant failure in December 2024 where multiple mechanical issues were identified, including an inoperative parking brake, an exhaust leak, and suspension defects. The trend suggests that the owner addresses critical faults once they trigger an MOT failure, rather than replacing worn components between annual intervals. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between January 2024 at 57,110 miles and December 2024 at 62,059 miles, representing over 5,000 miles driven in eleven months. This relatively low annual usage often leads to the gradual degradation of rubber components, like ball joint dust covers, which aligns with the specific suspension failures recorded during the early 2024 tests. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension during a physical inspection. The record shows recurring failures for the ball joint dust covers on both the nearside and offside front arms in early 2024, indicating a vulnerability to wear in these areas. Additionally, the persistent front oil leak noted in both December 2024 and January 2026 requires a close look to determine if it is a simple gasket seep or a more significant seal failure. While the parking brake and brake pads were addressed following the 2024 failure, the mechanism should be tested thoroughly to ensure no residual binding or uneven wear remains.
