2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · DX65 WDO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 114,822 miles passed with only a minor failure for an inoperative offside rear registration lamp. This represents a stable trend compared to the previous year, where mechanical failures in the steering and suspension were noted, suggesting that the owner addresses critical safety components only after they fail an inspection. At 114,822 miles over eleven years, the Mokka has averaged approximately 10,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent use, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the September 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 9,000 miles covered prior to the 2025 inspection. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, as the record shows recurring issues with ball joints and struts. The tester flagged play in the nearside front Macpherson strut ball joint in 2023 and subsequently identified a damaged offside front suspension arm ball joint and steering linkage dust covers in 2024. While these appear to be rectified, the recurrence of faults in the front-end geometry suggests these components may be under significant stress or that the alignment has been causing premature wear. The history also indicates lapses in basic tyre management. The 2023 failure resulted from a tyre being fitted incorrectly with the inside marking facing out and being worn to the legal limit. Furthermore, a 2022 advisory noted perishing on the nearside rear sidewall. You must check the current tyre set for uneven wear or sidewall cracking to ensure the previous trend of neglecting consumable maintenance has ceased.
