2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · DY15 UGT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 132,952 miles passed with only a minor oil leak noted, the previous records show a history of significant mechanical failures. The trend indicates a period of stability following major repairs in early 2025, yet the recurring suspension issues suggest that components are only addressed once they reach a failure point rather than during routine inspections. At 11 years old, the recorded 132,952 miles represent an annual average of approximately 12,000 miles. This high mileage profile puts consistent strain on wear-and-tear components across the chassis. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 16,341 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation of mileage likely accelerated to the degradation of the front suspension and braking system identified in the MOT failures and advisories during that period. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, given the repeated issues with ball joints, track rod ends, and arm bushes. The tester flagged excessive wear in both front ball joints in February 2025, following similar advisories for worn bushes in 2024. The braking system also requires close scrutiny, as the February 2024 failure recorded poor parking brake efficiency and pitted rear discs, followed by dangerously thin front pads. The oil leak noted in the January 2026 test should be monitored to ensure it is merely a minor weeping and not a developing fault that could lead to engine damage.
