2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · MA16 KVM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing suspension andrelated wear. The most recent test in October 2025 at 86,555 miles passed despite an advisory for slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. This follows a period of minor mechanical failures and advisories, suggesting that while the car is currently compliant, it is beginning to require preventative component replacement as parts age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year, which is typical for a ten-year-old Vauxhall Mokka. The vehicle covered roughly 9,000 miles between the September 2024 test at 76,514 miles and the October 2025 test at 86,555 miles. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals, despite the increasing age. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, as the noted ball joint play and previous reports of uneven tyre wear on the nearside front in September 2022 may indicate underlying alignment issues or worn bushings. The buyer must also verify if the oil leak identified in September 2024 has been addressed or if it has developed into a more significant issue. The nearside rear brake disc should also be checked for excessive corrosion or thinning, as this component was already flagged as worn and pitted at 58,897 miles.
