2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DU65 WKX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding mechanical components. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 40,651 miles, it only did so after failing the day prior on multiple defects. The failure identified a front exhaust flexi pipe leak, a broken rear exhaust clamp, and a coolant leak from the header tank. This suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when strictly necessitated by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 11 years old, the recorded 40,651 miles represent an exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but the data shows significant gaps between tests. Between October 2023 at 30,557 miles and October 2024 at 34,349 miles, the car covered less than 4,000 miles. Such periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which is evident in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record shows recurring issues with ball joint dust covers and suspension arm bushes dating back to 2023, with the 2026 failure specifically flagging worn inner bushes on both front arms. The 2024 failure also highlighted a structural tyre bulge and a perished rear tyre, indicating that the rubber may be suffering from age-rot rather than tread wear. The cooling system requires pressure testing for signs of the previously noted header tank leak, and the exhaust system should be verified to ensure the flexi pipe and clamp were properly secured and sealed.
