2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · GV67 OAB

Chronic wear of the braking system is the primary theme of this vehicle's roadworthiness record, with front brake discs flagged as worn or pitted in four separate tests spanning six years. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection on 9 April 2026, the reappearance of worn front discs alongside a new minor exhaust gas leak from the front flexi pipe indicates a trend of gradual component degradation rather than a clean bill of health. The recorded mileage of 39,416 miles over approximately eight years represents a low annual average of roughly 4,927 miles. This usage pattern typically results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension compared to high-mileage examples, but it is often associated with the specific types of degradation seen in this record, such as the pitting of brake discs and the sidewall cracking of tyres noted in the 2023 test. A physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the front brake discs to determine if they have been replaced or if the pitting and wear noted since 2020 persist. During a test drive, feel for any pedal judder or vibration under braking, which would confirm the presence of warped or heavily scored discs. The history of thin rear brake pads and sidewall cracking on the rear tyres suggests these consumables should be closely examined for current tread depth and rubber integrity. Particular attention must be paid to the front exhaust flexi pipe mentioned in the latest advisory. Listen for an increased engine note or a distinct blowing sound from the engine bay while idling or under acceleration, as a leak in the flexi section can worsen over time. Ensure the exhaust system is secure and that there are no signs of excessive soot around the joints, which would indicate the leak is active.
