2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · DV14 YAY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend following a period of mechanical neglect. The most recent test in February 2026 at 83,340 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that the previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This clean result follows two consecutive passes in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a functional standard. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between February 2024 and February 2026, the car covered 9,613 miles, which represents a slight increase in usage compared to earlier years. This low annual mileage suggests the engine has not been subjected to heavy stress, though the age of the vehicle means that rubber components and suspension elements may degrade due to time regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the failure in March 2023 at 69,004 miles highlighted a failure in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover. While this was rectified, checking for play in the ball joints or wear on the rubber boots is advisable to ensure the fault has not returned. The diesel particulate filter warning noted in February 2024 also warrants attention; although the car passed since then, short-trip usage common with low mileage vehicles can lead to soot buildup if the system is not regularly run at operating temperatures.
