2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · LP64 TWM

The February 2026 MOT test at 80,734 miles reveals a vehicle beginning to show signs of age-related component fatigue. While the car passed after repairs, the tester flagged multiple failures including a severely deteriorated nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover and wear on both front upper Macpherson strut pins. The presence of a minor exhaust gas leak is a recurring issue, noted back to the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggesting the exhaust flexi has not been replaced. A non-excessive oil leak was also identified, which requires monitoring to ensure it does not escalate into a failure. At 80,734 miles over eleven years, this Mokka averages approximately 7,340 miles per year. This low-use profile typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and interior, but the record shows a consistent annual testing pattern with mileage increments of roughly 9,000 to 11,000 miles between tests. However, the 2025 advisory at 75,039 miles regarding a perished offside rear tyre indicates that the rubber components may be failing due to age and standing rather than the low mileage driven. The mechanical history shows a trend of worsening suspension and exhaust components. The transition from a thin rear brake pad in 2023 to multiple front suspension failures in 2026 indicates that the vehicle now requires proactive maintenance. A buyer should verify that the ball joint covers and strut pins were properly addressed and inspect the engine bay for the source of the oil leak. The structural integrity remains clear from these records, but the recurring exhaust leak and suspension wear are the primary areas of concern for long-term ownership.
