2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · R7 JSR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 67,652 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior due to a serious defect on the nearside front track rod end ball joint. The recurring presence of thin brake pads across three separate tests over the last two years suggests that the owner only addresses components once they reach a point of failure, rather than performing scheduled servicing of consumables. At 67,652 miles, the Mokka has averaged approximately 6,765 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a decade-old car. The mileage accumulation between annual tests is steady, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 8,000 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not been sitting idle, yet the frequency of mechanical failures indicates that components are being pushed to their operational limits. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows multiple issues with ball joints and track rod ends in a short window. The oil leak noted in the March 2026 test, while described as not excessive, requires a physical check to determine if it originates from a simple gasket or a more critical seal. Given that the front brake pads were flagged as thin in 2024 and 2026, the buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs for uneven wear, glazing, or lip formation, as they have likely operated with worn pads for extended periods.
