2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · N9 CSH

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 2 July 2026 with no defects recorded. While the latest result is clean, the preceding history indicates a fluctuating maintenance trend. The vehicle suffered a failure in January 2025 due to a major suspension defect and has a recurring history of brake wear and windscreen damage. The current clean sheet suggests recent corrective maintenance, but the pattern of advisories indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to wear and tear items. With a recorded mileage of 146,497 miles over approximately eleven years, this vehicle has averaged over 13,000 miles per annum. This is considered high usage for this class of vehicle. Such high mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain, engine internals, and all rubber mounted components. Prospective buyers should be aware that the vehicle is well into its second life cycle for many consumable parts, increasing the likelihood of imminent failures in the transmission, clutch, or turbocharger if not meticulously serviced. Particular attention must be paid to the braking system, as the MOT history shows a consistent pattern of worn and pitted discs and thin pads across both the front and rear axles over the last three years. During a test drive, listen for grinding noises and feel for any shuddering through the brake pedal, which would indicate warped or heavily scored discs. Additionally, given the previous failure of the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, the buyer should listen for metallic clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces or during low speed manoeuvring, as this may suggest other suspension bushes or joints are nearing the end of their service life. Given the high mileage, it is imperative to verify the full service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt or chain replacements and regular oil changes to prevent sludge build up. Inspect the tyre treads for uneven wear, which could point to lingering alignment issues following the suspension work. Finally, examine the windscreen for any lingering chips or cracks that were previously noted as minor defects, and check the overall structural integrity of the underbody for corrosion, which is common in vehicles of this age and mileage.
