2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · GD66 WRC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward developing mechanical issues. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 73,118 miles, the car failed due to an oil leak and an incorrectly aligned nearside headlamp. While the vehicle passed immediately after rectification, the appearance of an oil leak suggests that seals or gaskets are beginning to degrade, marking a departure from the previous clean records. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 32,426 miles in early 2020 to 73,118 miles in early 2026. This consistent usage suggests the car has been used for regular trips rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and fluid systems, despite the perishing tyres noted in the 2022 test. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the engine bay to address the coolant leak noted in February 2023 at 52,102 miles. These recurring fluid issues indicate potential wear in the engine's cooling system and oil seals that require close monitoring to prevent future overheating. The supplementary restraint system lamp fault from 2019 should also be verified to ensure the airbag system was fully repaired and remains functional. Additionally check the tyre sidewalls for further cracking, as the record from 2022 indicates the vehicle has been prone to age-related rubber degradation despite the relatively low mileage.
