2013 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · MW63 TPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive care pattern. While it passed its most recent test on August 28, 2025 at 71,137 miles, it failed that same day due to multiple mechanical and safety defects. The trend shows a recurring failure to address consumable components like brakes and tyres until they reach a critical point, suggesting that repairs are only undertaken when necessitated by the MOT rather than during routine servicing. At 13 years old, the recorded 71,137 miles represent a low average of approximately 5,472 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber and fluids, which is evident in the record. The vehicle covered 12,648 miles between the August 2024 and August 2025 tests, showing a consistent annual mileage pattern. However, the persistence of tyre perishing and cracking noted across both 2024 and 2025 confirms that the rubber is suffering from dry rot over time despite the low distance driven. A buyer must carefully inspect the braking system and suspension components. The 2024 failure highlighted a binding offside rear caliper and a seriously weakened disc, issues that often stem from corrosion when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Furthermore, the 2025 failure identified an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. Given the history of thinning brake pads, an inspection should check for play in the steering geometry and ensure the front brake pads have been properly replaced, as the record shows they were flagged for wear in two consecutive years.
