2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · SA15 FSZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test on 28 May 2026 at 77,570 miles was a pass, it followed a failure on the same day for multiple issues including a bulb failure and wiper malfunction. The persistent presence of a TPMS warning light and the developing play in the anti-roll bar linkage suggests that minor mechanical faults are only addressed when they directly threaten a test result rather than being serviced during routine maintenance. At 77,570 miles, this eleven-year-old vehicle has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. There is a significant mileage jump of 13,634 miles recorded between May 2025 and May 2026. This increased rate of use over a single year explains the rapid wear observed on suspension components, specifically the control arm bushes and ball joints noted in the records. The lower mileage overall does not insulate the vehicle from age-related degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record shows a progression from a worn wishbone rear bush in February 2024 to excessive movement in 2025, followed now by play in the anti-roll bar linkage in 2026. This indicates a recurring issue with front end wear. Furthermore, the corrosion noted on the rear coil springs in 2025 needs to be verified to ensure no fractures have developed, as these components are a common failure point on this model when exposed to road salt. The persistent TPMS light and the recurring failure of the wiper motor or linkage mechanism suggest underlying electrical or sensor faults that have been ignored. The corrosion on the DPF back exhaust flanges mentioned in 2025 should be monitored for structural leaks, although they were secure at that time. The integrity of the exhaust system appears to be declining declining over time.
