2013 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · DS63 XAL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent test history indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While the car passed its MOT in March 2026 at 82,707 miles, the failure just one mile prior reveals a neglect of routine wear and tear items. The presence of excessive play in the offside front track rod end and a worn offside front tyre suggests that the owner is only addressing mechanical faults once they reach a legal failure threshold rather than performing preventative servicing. At 82,707 miles over 13 years, the Mokka has averaged approximately 6,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage for its age. The mileage progression remains consistent between 2023 and 2026, with the vehicle covering roughly 12,000 miles in three years. However, the transition from a clean record in 2024 to a multi-point failure in 2026 indicates that despite the low mileage, age-related rubber components and braking components are now reaching the end of their functional life due to material degradation. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the record flagged issues with track rod ends and dust covers. The thin front inner brake pads noted in March 2026 necessitate a thorough check of the brake disc condition to ensure no uneven glazing or scoring has occurred. Additionally, the exhaust flexi leak identified in the 2025 test should be verified as repaired, as these components often deteriorate into larger structural failures in the exhaust system if not monitored. The discoloured repeaters are a minor cosmetic concern and do not impact the mechanical integrity of the vehicle.
