2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · HS16 MMA

The 2023 July 31 test at 85,723 miles confirms the Vauxhall Mokka remains roadworthy, with only a minor exhaust leak in the flexible section and a worn near‑side front upper Macpherson strut pin or bush that did not cause excessive movement. This follows a 2022 July 18 test at 72,841 miles that recorded no defects, indicating that the vehicle’s condition has stabilised after the 2020 failure. Mileage has risen steadily from 35,673 miles in July 2019 to 85,723 miles in July 2023, an average increase of roughly 12,000 miles per year, matching the typical usage for a ten‑year‑old model and showing no anomalous periods of low or rapid accumulation. Recurring issues centre on the exhaust system, which displayed a major leak at 48,022 miles in 2020, a minor leak at 85,723 miles in 2023, and a lambda reading out of spec in the same 2020 test, suggesting persistent exhaust integrity concerns that require close inspection for cracks, corrosion or loose fittings. The suspension wear noted in 2023 and the 2021 wiper blade defect point to intermittent component fatigue, while the 2020 coolant leak indicates a possible cooling system leak that should be verified. A buyer should therefore examine the exhaust for leaks or corrosion, test the strut bush and pin for play, inspect the cooling system for active leaks, assess brake condition for binding calipers or worn discs, and look for any structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and chassis, to confirm that the listed advisories have been fully remedied.
