2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · KY17 YRU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 106,075 miles, this followed just two weeks after a significant failure involving multiple mechanical and safety defects. The presence of an engine management light failure and excessive oil leaks in April 2026 suggests that the owner only addresses faults when forced to by an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance between tests. At 106,075 miles over nine years, the Mokka has averaged approximately 11,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for its age. The data shows a consistent progression of roughly 8,200 miles between January 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 12,300 miles between March 2025 and April 2026. This steady mileage indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the consistent wear observed on rubber components and braking systems recorded across the intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the engine bay, as the record shows a non-excessive oil leak in 2025 that escalated to an excessive leak by April 2026. The engine management light failure during the April test also requires a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden sensor faults remain. Furthermore, the front suspension arm ball joint dust covers were flagged in 2025; these should be inspected to ensure they were replaced, as failure of these boots leads to rapid wear of the expensive steering components. The history also highlights a recurring neglect of tyre condition, with multiple reports of cracking, perishing, and nails in tyres across the last three years. The rear braking system showed significant wear with pitted discs and thin pads in May 2026, and the exhaust box was noted as breaking up internally. Given the age and mileage, the buyer should also check for structural corrosion on the exhaust and verify that the recently replaced components are not nearing immediate failure.
