2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · DY15 OAM

The 2015 Vauxhall Mokka presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 2 March 2026 at 114,815 miles. The most recent test recorded only minor advisories for worn and pitted rear brake discs, which the tester explicitly noted were not seriously weakened. This follows a pattern of active fault resolution. The February 2025 failure at 105,257 miles was notably comprehensive, flagging a cracked front windscreen, critically worn front brake pads, and a severely deteriorated offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover alongside an excessively worn joint. The subsequent March 2025 pass at the identical mileage confirms these specific safety-critical items were rectified promptly. The record suggests a responsible ownership approach where identified defects are addressed rather than ignored. The mileage accumulation of roughly 10,438 miles per year is entirely typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle and indicates consistent, regular use rather than prolonged standing. The annual tests from 2023 through 2026 show a steady and predictable climb from 91,641 miles to 114,815 miles, with no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps in recorded distance. This consistent usage pattern is mechanically favourable, as it implies the engine, drivetrain, and suspension have been regularly exercised and maintained under normal operating conditions rather than suffering from the moisture and corrosion issues associated with long-term disuse. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking components, given the specific items flagged in the February 2025 failure. The offside front suspension arm ball joint and its dust cover were replaced or repaired, so checking for even wear on the front tyres and listening for clunking over suspension travel will verify the quality of that repair. The rear brake discs were flagged as pitted and worn in March 2026, so a test drive should assess whether braking vibration or pulsing is present under moderate to heavy braking. The TPMS warning lamp illuminated in June 2023, which may indicate a slow puncture or a sensor fault, so tyre condition and pressure monitoring system functionality warrant a direct check. Beyond these specific items, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion is prudent, as the vehicle is now over a decade old and structural integrity must be confirmed regardless of the clean MOT record.
