2023 Vauxhall Mokka Ultimate Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · KM72 EGF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 10 July 2026 at 76,460 miles, it failed just one day prior at the same mileage. The tester flagged an excessive engine oil leak alongside the functional failure of both windscreen wipers. The fact that the vehicle passed within 24 hours of these failures suggests the owner addressed only the minimum necessary repairs to pass rather than performing a comprehensive mechanical overhaul. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a three-year-old vehicle, averaging over 25,000 miles per year. Between the November 2025 test at 64,582 miles and the July 2026 test at 76,460 miles, the car covered nearly 12,000 miles in just eight months. This puts significant strain on the automatic gearbox, suspension components, and braking system. The failure in November 2025 due to an offside front tyre being below the legal 1.6mm limit indicates that basic consumable items were neglected until they reached a critical failure point. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the engine bay to determine the source of the excessive oil leak, as such leaks on turbo engines can indicate failing gaskets or oil seals that require expensive intervention. Given the high annual mileage, the suspension bushes and shock absorbers should be checked for premature wear or perished rubber components. The brake discs and pads should also be examined for thinning or scoring, as the high-frequency usage suggests these components are likely nearing the end of their operational life.
