2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · DY64 FNT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in April 2026 at 73,475 miles passed with minor advisories related to tyre perishing and lighting indicators. This follows a failure in May 2025 for a broken nearside front lower coil spring. While the vehicle is passing, the record suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they cause an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between August 2023 and May 2025 where the car covered only 3,000 miles over nearly two years. However, the vehicle then covered 9,000 miles in the eleven months leading up to the 2026 test. This sudden increase in activity often accelerates wear on rubber components, which aligns with the suspensionrelated failures seen during that period. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension closely, given the recurring issues with coil springs. The record shows a fractured offside rear spring in 2023 and a broken nearside front spring in 2025, indicating a potential vulnerability to corrosion or stress fractures in these components. You should also check the sidewalls of the nearside rear tyre, as the April 2026 advisory for cracking and perishing suggests the rubber may have been sitting stationary for long periods, leading to material degradation. The lighting system requires a thorough check as multiple failures involving side repeaters, position lamps, and registration plate lights have appeared over the years. While these are simple fixes, the recurring nature of the offside front DRL failure indicates a persistent wiring or bulb issue that has been overlooked. Ensure the wheel alignment is verified, as the 2023 advisory for uneven tyre wear on the offside front edge points to incorrect geometry or worn suspension bushes.
