2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · DX65 WDU

The 2015 Vauxhall Mokka holds a valid MOT certificate dated 10 March 2026, issued at 118,465 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though the record reveals a pattern of minor, recurring wear items rather than a single serious defect. The most recent test required a retest after the initial failure flagged both windscreen wipers for ineffective clearing and the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint for slight play. Both faults were rectified before the pass was issued on the same day, suggesting the previous owner addressed immediate failures rather than ignoring them. The anti-roll bar joint advisory from the earlier attempt remains a watch point, as play in that component typically worsens gradually and can eventually cause knocking over uneven surfaces. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Between the May 2023 test at 96,517 miles and the May 2024 test at 110,366 miles, the Mokka covered 13,849 miles in twelve months, a slightly above-average annual distance. The jump from 110,366 miles in May 2024 to 118,465 miles by March 2026 represents 8,099 miles over approximately twenty-two months, indicating a drop in usage during the most recent period. No significant gaps appear in the record that would suggest long-term storage or clocking concerns. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on three areas. First, the front suspension, specifically the offside anti-roll bar ball joint, which showed play at the March 2026 test. Check for clunking during low-speed turns and inspect the joint boots for splits that allow grease loss and water ingress. Second, the braking system, given the offside rear pads were flagged as wearing thin in May 2024. Measure remaining pad thickness and examine the rear calipers for binding, a common issue on Mokkas that accelerates pad wear unevenly. Third, the tyre condition across all four corners, as the history shows repeated advisories for edge wear, cracking, and structural damage. Uneven front tyre wear in 2023 points to possible tracking or suspension geometry issues that may have been corrected but should be verified with a four-wheel alignment check.
