2019 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · OY19 FMP

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in March 2026, but the overall maintenance trend is concerning and appears to be worsening. While the 2022 inspection was entirely clean, the subsequent records reveal a steady decline in vehicle condition, culminating in multiple failures in early 2025. The transition from simple advisories regarding brake wear to major failures involving the engine management system and steering components suggests a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. With a recorded mileage of 87,089 miles over approximately seven years, this vehicle has averaged roughly 12,441 miles per year. This is high for this class of vehicle and indicates significant usage that has accelerated the wear of critical consumables and structural components. Prospective buyers should expect that the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and braking systems have been subjected to more stress than a typical example of this age, necessitating a more rigorous inspection of wear-and-tear items. Particular attention must be paid to the braking system and suspension. The history shows recurring issues with rear brake pad wear, pitted discs, and a recorded brake imbalance, with recent evidence of heat damage to the pads. During a test drive, listen for grinding noises or feel for any shuddering through the brake pedal, which could indicate binding calipers or warped discs. Additionally, the recent failures of both front suspension arm and steering linkage ball joint dust covers suggest a vulnerability to road grit and moisture; listen for clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds. The presence of both oil and coolant leaks in the most recent report is a significant red flag. Inspect the engine bay for fresh residue and check the coolant expansion tank for signs of depletion or contamination. Given the previous failures of the engine management indicator lamp and a recorded exhaust flexi pipe leak, ensure the dashboard is clear of warning lights and listen for any abnormal exhaust notes or hissing sounds under acceleration. A full service history should be verified to ensure that the high mileage has been supported by regular oil and filter changes to mitigate the risk of internal engine wear.
