2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · MD66 OYG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in early July 2025 at 84,036 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just two days prior. The trend shows that the owner only addresses faults once they cause an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The recurring presence of an oil leak across the last three years suggests a persistent issue that remains un fully investigated or rectified, despite being noted as not excessive. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 68,137 miles and July 2024 at 76,337 miles, the car covered 8,200 miles, followed by another 7,700 miles in the year leading up to the de-registered 2025 tests. This steady usage pattern indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the standard wear seen on consumables like tyres and rubber-related suspension components mentioned in the records. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The July 2025 failure highlighted low parking brake efficiency, thin rear pads, and pitted discs, suggesting the rear braking assembly is nearing the end of its life. Furthermore, the nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover was flagged as severely deteriorated; this is a critical component where ingress can lead to premature joint failure if not replaced. The history of engine management indicator light (MIL) failures in both 2024 and 2025 also indicates an intermittent electronic fault that requires a scan with a diagnostic tool to ensure no hidden engine codes remain present.
