2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · ND64 LGC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the car passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 93,578 miles, the failure just days prior highlighted significant mechanical neglect, including a damaged track rod end ball joint cover, two front tyres below legal tread limits, and a major exhaust leak. This pattern suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by a test failure rather than replacing worn components during service intervals. At 93,578 miles over 12 years, the Mokka averages approximately 7,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for its age. The data shows consistent use, with a 9,400-mile gap between January 2024 and February 2025, and another 6,744 miles between February 2025 and March 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary, but it also confirms that mechanical components have been subjected to standard annual tear associated with this mileage. A buyer should scrutinise inspect the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring failures in this area, including a worn nearside lower arm ball joint and an offside upper Macpherson strut pin in 2025, followed by a track rod end failure in 2026. These repeated issues suggest the front suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. The exhaust leak noted in March 2026 also requires a physical inspection to ensure the manifold or downpipe has not suffered from excessive corrosion or heat damage. Additionally, a diagnostic check is necessary to ensure the engine management malfunction light reported in 2025 has been properly cleared and does not indicate an underlying sensor fault.
