2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · DX65 WDA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical and rubber wear. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 78,147 miles passed, the volume of advisories indicates a transition from proactive to reactive maintenance. The appearance of an offside front suspension arm ball joint with play and a worn steering column top bearing suggests that the steering and suspension assembly is beginning to reach the end of its service life cycle. At 78,147 miles over 11 years, the Mokka averages approximately 7,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate annual usage. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025, and approximately 12,000 miles between August 2023 and August 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle was not sitting stationary, though the low mileage relative to its age means components are susceptible to age-related degradation rather than mileage-based fatigue. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the tyres and rubber components, as the history reveals recurring issues with tyre pressure and condition. The tester flagged a perished offside rear tyre in both 2024 and 2025, alongside inner-edge wear on the offside front tyre which likely indicates an alignment fault. The persistent TPMS light issue, which caused a failure in 2023 and an advisory in 2024, should be verified to ensure it is not masking a leak or deeper sensor fault. The front suspension requires close attention due to the recorded play in the offside ball joint and the worn steering column bearing. These faults should be checked during a test drive to listen for knocking noises or vague steering precision. Given that the front brake pads were noted as wearing thin in 2022, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs to ensure no further neglect has occurred since the last inspection.
