2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · LC67 GXA

Recurring component wear and a history of minor electrical and exhaust defects characterize the roadworthiness trail of this 2017 Vauxhall Mokka, which successfully secured a test pass on 27 November 2025 following an initial failure for a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. The examination also flagged a worn nearside front tyre and a minor exhaust leak from a loose front flexi pipe, pointing to a pattern where peripheral items require intermittent rectification. While earlier annual tests from 2020 through 2023 generally concluded without recorded defects alongside a couple of minor lighting rectifications, the more recent tests demonstrate an accumulation of advisories regarding rubber degradation and exhaust integrity. An odometer reading of 63,477 miles accumulated over roughly nine years places this Vauxhall at an average of approximately 7,000 miles annually, representing standard domestic utilisation without prolonged gaps between tests or extreme mileage inflation. This consistent usage profile means the mechanical systems have been regularly exercised rather than subjected to long periods of static storage, though typical wear and tear on suspension bushings, braking systems, and exhaust components remains entirely expected for a vehicle covering this distance. Inspection during a test drive must focus heavily on the front axle and exhaust system, requiring the driver to listen closely for blowing noises or rattling from the front flexi pipe area, particularly when accelerating under load or idling from cold. The steering should be monitored for any vibration or pull associated with the previously noted tyre wear patterns, and the prospective buyer must verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system fault has been permanently resolved on the dashboard instrumentation without intermittent warning lights recurring. Attention should also be directed toward the condition of the tyres across both axles, checking the sidewalls for the cracking and perishing noted in previous test histories and confirming adequate tread depth beyond the legal minimums. Given the dual-test nature of the 2025 MOT, checking all exterior lighting circuits, verifying suspension responsiveness over uneven road surfaces for unwanted knocks or play, and inspecting the underside for any structural or subframe corrosion will complete a thorough pre-purchase evaluation.
