2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · KY65 ADX

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a worsening maintenance trend, characterized by a significant failure in October 2025 followed by a pass with several remaining advisories. While the October 14, 2025, test at 111,948 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle still carries advisories for worn wipers, a TPMS lamp illumination, a minor gearbox oil leak, and lift in both front strut top mounts. The previous test on October 11, 2025, at 11,746 miles was a failure due to several critical issues, including a fractured offside rear coil spring, an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint, and multiple tyre defects. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 104,997 miles in August 2023 to 111,948 miles in October 2025. This pattern suggests regular usage rather than long periods of inactivity. The data is relatively dense for the last two years, providing a clear view of the vehicle's mechanical deterioration as it approaches higher mileage thresholds. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension and strut mounts, as the lift in the top mounts and the previous ball joint failure indicate potential ongoing wear in the steering and suspension geometry. The minor gearbox oil leak noted in October 2025 requires close monitoring to ensure it does not escalate into a major seal failure. Furthermore, the recurring advisories regarding tyre condition and perishing, dating back to 2023, suggest that the owner may be reactive rather than proactive regarding consumable maintenance. The TPMS lamp being active and the presence of a windscreen chip should also be verified. While the fractured coil spring was rectified to achieve the October 2025 pass, the underlying pattern of suspension and tyre issues suggests the vehicle requires a thorough underside inspection to check for further component fatigue or corrosion.
