2013 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · SA63 EEG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 136,039 miles, the failure just weeks prior highlighted multiple deficiencies across the steering and suspension systems. The trend is unstable, as the owner appears to only address faults once they trigger an MOT failure, rather than replacing worn components before they reach critical limits. At 136,039 miles over 13 years, the Mokka shows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 10,500 miles per year, which aligns with national averages for a family vehicle. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with 4,500 miles covered between January 2024 and April 2025, and another 6,183 miles between April 2025 and March 2026. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the accelerated wear on rubber-based components seen throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly. The record shows recurring issues with ball joint dust covers, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar linkages across 2025 and 2026. These failures indicate a general degradation of the bushings and joints in the front end. Furthermore, the corrosion on both rear coil springs noted in the March 2026 test suggests that rust is beginning to affect the structural components, which requires a close look for further decay on the chassis mounting points. The brakes and tyres also appear to be neglected, as evidenced by the 2025 failure for brake pads below the 1.5mm limit and multiple instances of illegal tyre tread depths. The 2026 advisory regarding a structural tear in the offside rear tyre is a significant safety concern that demands immediate replacement. Any buyer should verify the current depth and condition of all tyres and check the brake discs for thinning or pitting to ensure previous failures have been properly rectified with high-quality parts.
