2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · PP63 ACH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 6 November 2025 at 50,157 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent period of instability where mechanical and electronic faults triggered a failure. The failure in August 2025 at 50,056 miles highlighted significant technical concerns, including an inoperative Engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp and an exhaust lambda reading outside specified limits. These results suggest issues with emissions management or sensor health that required immediate rectification before the subsequent pass, alongside basic failures of both windscreen wiper blades. At 50,157 miles over eight years, the Mokka averages approximately 6,270 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage for its age. The record indicates a pattern of neglecting consumable items until failure. In November 2024 at 45,667 miles, the vehicle failed for a nearside front tyre being below the legal 1.6mm limit. This followed an advisory in November 2023 at 38,564 miles noting the same tyre was worn close to the limit. This chronological progression suggests the previous owner avoided preventative replacements until inspection or legal requirements forced action. A prospective buyer should verify the emissions-related components, given the 2025 lambda failure, to ensure the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter are functioning correctly. The recurring wear patterns on the nearside front tyre warrant a professional wheel alignment check to rule out suspension geometry issues or worn bushes. While the most recent test shows no active defects or adviseories, the history of electronic failures and worn-out tyres indicates a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach.
