2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · ME02 ASH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive repairs. The latest test on 3 October 2025 at 84,537 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a damaged front track rod end ball joint dust cover. While the immediate mechanical failure was rectified, the persistence of minor cosmetic defects such as a damaged windscreen and discoloured indicators across multiple tests suggests the owner tends to address non-safety-critical items only when they necessitate a pass. At 84,537 miles, the Mokka averages approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 7,600 miles covered between October 2023 and September 2024, and another 6,800 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods, which is generally beneficial for preventing the premature degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the record shows recurring issues with ball joint dust covers in both 2023 and 2025. These failures indicate that the protective boots are splitting, which can lead to rapid joint wear and steering play if not replaced promptly. The tyres should also be examined for sidewall damage, noting the previous failure for a cut reaching the cords in 2023. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical check for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system is advisable, although no structural defects have been flagged to date.
