2012 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · LC62 UPB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in May 2025 with no defects. While the immediate status is positive, the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive repairs over the last three years. After a period of clean records between 2015 and 2022, the vehicle has faced frequent failures and advisories related to consumables and minor components. This suggests that the owner is now addressing issues only when they fail inspection rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 89,887 miles, the Mokka reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 6,400 miles per year, which is typical for a 14-year-old car. The data shows no significant gaps in mileage, though there was a notable increase in use between 2022 and 2023 where the car covered nearly 16,000 miles. This relatively low mileage, combined with the vehicle's age, has likely accelerated the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the recurring issues with perished and cracking tyres noted in the test history. A buyer should scrutinise the suspension and tyre alignment closely, as the record shows a persistent pattern of uneven wear and edge thinning across multiple axles between 2023 and 2025. The 2024 failure for an exhaust gas leak indicates early wear on the exhaust system, which warrants a physical inspection to ensure the flexipipe has been properly replaced and not merely patched. Given the previous parking brake failure in 2018 and the thin brake pads noted in 2023, a thorough check of the braking system and caliper condition is necessary to ensure no underlying binding or excessive corrosion has developed.
