2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · LO63 EFT

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 3 November 2025 at 92,819 miles, yet the maintenance trend appears to be deteriorating compared to the clean records between 2021 and 2023. While the tester issued no dangerous or major defects, multiple minor faults were flagged simultaneously. The presence of an oil leak, exhaust gas leak, and perishing tyre indicates that previous owners have deferred minor maintenance tasks, shifting the vehicle from a well-maintained status to one requiring immediate remedial work. Mileage accumulation has accelerated recently. The odometer read 78,873 miles in October 2024, meaning the car covered approximately 14,000 miles in the thirteen months leading up to the November 2025 test. This represents a notable increase in annual usage compared to the earlier years of the history. The current total of 92,819 miles is typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle, but this recent high mileage period likely contributed to the accelerated wear on consumables observed in the latest test. A prospective buyer must prioritise inspecting the engine and exhaust systems. The tester recorded a front oil leak and a minor exhaust gas leak from the flexi joint, both of which can worsen with continued driving. Attention should also turn to the steering and suspension components, specifically the offside front outer track rod end ball joint dust cover which was damaged. Finally, verify the condition of all tyres, as the offside rear unit showed signs of cracking or perishing in late 2025, suggesting potential age-related degradation despite the vehicle's active use.
