2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · GL17 UNV

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently failing, indicating a significant deterioration in mechanical condition. The most recent MOT test on 2025-11-19 at 59,593 miles was a failure, which contradicts the earlier 2024-11-21 test at 56,977 miles that passed without defects. This suggests the vehicle has experienced a sharp increase in wear or a significant lack of maintenance between 2024 and 2025, leading to the current failure condition. The failure on 2025-11-19 specifically highlights severe wear on the nearside front suspension strut top mounting and fluid leakage, which are critical components that have likely degraded over the intervening period. The mileage pattern reveals a clear trend of rapid accumulation and potential consumption of consumables. The vehicle has maintained roughly 6,621 miles per year, which is typical for a 2017 model, but the gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests that the vehicle has not been properly maintained since 2024. The 2025-11-19 failure at 59,593 miles indicates that the vehicle has been driven for approximately 10 years, accumulating wear on parts that were previously in good condition. This rapid mileage increase is a red flag for the risk of future breakdowns, particularly given the recurring fluid seepage and structural issues noted in the 2023-12-04 test at 53,709 miles. To ensure long-term safety and prevent costly repairs, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for structural integrity and critical wear points. The most serious risk identified is the nearside front suspension strut top mounting, which has shown lift in multiple tests, suggesting that the suspension system may be unstable and prone to failure under load. Additionally, the coolant expansion tank crack and exhaust flexi pipe leak, combined with the tps light and fluid leakage, indicate a failure of the cooling and exhaust systems that could lead to overheating and engine damage. Finally, the severe fluid leakage and wear on the suspension mounting points require immediate attention to prevent the vehicle from becoming a liability.
