2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DY17 LZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection history reveals a concerning lapse in maintenance standards. While the car passed its test in December 2025 at 91,186 miles, it had failed earlier that same day due to multiple safety-critical defects. This shift from three clean passes between 2022 and 2024 to a significant failure suggests that reactive maintenance was employed, only addressing once a retest was required. The' pattern is consistent with typical national-average usage, averaging approximately 10,132 miles per year over its nine-year lifespan. The data shows steady accumulation, moving from 68,133 miles in November 2022 to 77,130 miles in December 2023, and 84,233 miles by December 2024. This regularity indicates that the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of stationary time, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components, seals, and braking systems. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension assembly specifically, as the December 2025 failure highlighted a ruptured offside ball joint dust cover. This allows allows grit to enter the joint, leading to premature wear and potential steering instability. The failure of the offside front tyre for being below the legal 1.6mm limit indicates a failure to monitor basic consumable wear until an official test intervened. Because the tyre pressure monitoring system was also flagged as inoperative during the final failure, this system should be verified to ensure it is not merely a blown fuse or a faulty sensor that remains unaddressed.
