2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DY17 MHV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift from a period of clean inspections. In the most recent test on 24 March 2026 at 49,714 miles, the car passed despite failures involving a coolant leak and a nail embedded in the offside front tyre. While these are common consumable issues, the presence of a leak suggests that the cooling system is beginning to require attention after several years of previously clean records. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,524 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 16,984 miles, indicating consistent but light-usage patterns. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows a standard accumulation of roughly 4,900 miles, though low mileage over long periods can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals if the vehicle remains stationary for extended durations. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the cooling system to identify the source of the leak noted in March 2026, specifically checking for weeping around the water pump, hoses, or radiator housing. Additionally, the minor exhaust leak identified during the March 2022 test at 32,730 miles should be re-verified to ensure the exhaust manifold or piping has not developed further corrosion or structural failure since it was not explicitly cleared in subsequent years. Given the low mileage, the focus should also shift to the condition of the suspension bushes and brake components, which can perish from age irrespective of distance driven. While the history shows no structural advisories for rust on the frames, the recent introduction of mechanical defects indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where preventative maintenance is necessary toMaintain its current roadworthiness standard.
