2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DP67 FLD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward worsening mechanical condition. While it passed the most recent 2026 test at 59,810 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior where multiple defects were identified. The presence of a coolant leak from the water pump area and a corroded exhaust flexi pipe indicates that the vehicle is now entering a period of age-related component failure that was not addressed until the most recent inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 53,159 miles in May 2024 to 56,138 miles in May 2025, reaching nearly 60,000 miles by May 2026. This low annual usage suggests light commuting, yet the low mileage has not prevented the natural degradation of rubber seals and metal components which occurs over time irrespective of distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the cooling system and braking assembly. The 2026 failure highlighted a leaking nearside rear car artwork caliper and a water pump leak, both of which require verification to ensure no residual fluid loss persists. Furthermore, the 2024 failure regarding a fractured nearside front coil spring and a worn MacPherson strut bush indicates that the suspension geometry is showing signs of fatigue. The exhaust system should also be checked for further corrosion, as the flexi-pipe area has been a noted issue since 2025.
