2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · KY64 CTV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding front suspension components. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 92,352 miles, it failed just three days prior at 92,341 miles. That failure identified significant play in both anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and the nearside lower suspension arm ball joint. This indicates that the front suspension geometry is reaching the end of its functional life and requires immediate attention. At 92,352 miles over twelve years, the Mokka averages approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family vehicle. The record shows consistent usage between 2023 and 2025, where the car covered roughly 18,000 miles in two years. However, the jump of 12,000 miles between April 2025 and April 2026 suggests a recent increase in usage, which likely correlates with the accelerated wear seen on rubber bushes and mechanical joints noted in the latest failure report. A buyer must inspect the front end in person to ensure the ball joints and suspension arms were actually replaced following the April 2026 failure. The tester also flagged the offside front tyre as worn on the inner edge, which strongly points to an alignment issue or worn camber components that remain unaddressed. Furthermore, although the rear brake pads were noted as thin in 2023, the current thickness should be checked to ensure they have not since reached a critical state. The front flexi exhaust pipe mentioned in 2023 should also be inspected for surface corrosion or structural degradation that could lead to a future failure.
