2019 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · DT19 GCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent pass on 18 April 2026, but the maintenance trend is worsening. The latest test at 106,425 miles left several advisories regarding deteriorated suspension ball joint dust covers and pitted rear brake discs. A failure just one week prior on 11 April 2026 revealed a fractured offside front coil spring and binding brakes, suggesting that critical mechanical failures are now occurring more frequently. The car has covered 106,425 miles in seven years, averaging over 15,000 miles annually. This high usage is evident in the rapid mileage accumulation between April 2024 and April 2026, where the odometer climbed from 73,974 to 106,425 miles. Such heavy use typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the increasing number of failures recorded in the last three years. A buyer must scrutinize the suspension system. The record shows a pattern of coil spring failures, with a rear spring fracturing in April 2025 and a front spring breaking in April 2026. This indicates a systemic weakness or general fatigue in the suspension. The recurring issues with tyre tread and structural integrity, such as the exposed ply and cords flagged in April 2024, suggest a history of neglecting basic consumable upkeep. The braking system requires a thorough inspection. The April 2026 test flagged fluctuating and binding brakes along with pitted discs. Combined with the thin brake pads noted as far back as April 2022, there is a clear trend of deferred brake maintenance. A physical check should confirm if the calipers are seizing or if the discs have been replaced recently to resolve the pitting and binding issues.
