2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · KT14 VCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 75,813 miles passed despite a non-hazardous oil leak and multiple tyre defects on the rear axle. While the vehicle passed the immediate inspection, the pattern of failures in previous years suggests that safety-critical items and consumables are only addressed once they reach the point of failure at the testing centre. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap of roughly 11,000 miles between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 10,700 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly, which helps prevent component seizing but also explains the age of rubber components, as seen in the recurring perishing and cracking of tyres noted across the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension, specifically looking for the replacement of the offside rear coil spring and the fractured nearside rear coil spring recorded in August 2023. The presence of a distorted nearside front road wheel in 2023 suggests a previous significant impact which may have affected the alignment or hub assembly. Furthermore, the oil leak identified in the 2025 test requires a close inspection to determine if it originates from a simple gasket or a more costly engine seal, as it was not rectified. The tyre history is a point of concern, with multiple entries for cuts, damage, and perishing across the last three tests. The failure in 2024 due to cuts reaching the cords indicates that the previous owner ignored structural damage to the rubber. Any prospective buyer should verify the current depth and condition of all four tyres and ensure the engine management system light, which caused a failure in 2024, has been properly cleared and is not currently masking an intermittent fault.
