2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · LL65 YXZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test on 14 January 2026 at 159,858 miles shows a pass only after a failure the previous day. This recent failure identified a fractured nearside rear coil spring, incorrect headlamp aim, and pitted brake discs. While the immediate faults were rectified, the recurring nature of these issues suggests components are only replaced once they reach the point of a test failure. At 159,858 miles, this eleven-year-old Mokka has covered a high average distance of approximately 14,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent, heavy usage, with 10,000 miles recorded between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 9,500 miles in the final year leading up to the 2026 test. This high mileage puts significant strain on the suspension architecture and braking system, which is reflected in the frequent mechanical advisories. buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension assembly. The record flags severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers in both 2025 tests and developing wear on shock absorber top mounts in 2024. These are indicators of aging rubber and metal fatigue that will likely lead to further failures. Furthermore, the nearside rear brake disc has been a persistent issue with pitting and scoring since 2025, indicating either a caliper that is sticking or the vehicle is frequently driven in conditions that promote rapid corrosion on the rotors.
