2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · SC17 GVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test on 3 June 2026 at 69,817 miles passed, it flagged a deteriorated offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. This follows a pattern of multiple failures where components are only addressed after failing an MOT. The recurring presence of mechanical advisories across the last three years suggests that the owner only resolves faults when strictly necessary to pass the annual inspection. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,750 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 59,888 miles and the May 2025 test at 65,406 miles, the car covered over 5,500 miles, with another 4,400 miles recorded before the 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular road use, which explains the typical age-related wear on rubber components and suspension despite the relatively low total mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and exhaust system, as these areas show persistent issues. The record notes a recurring exhaust flexi-joint leak that persisted from 2024 through 2025, and an offside front shock absorber that showed oil misting in 2025. The fractured nearside rear coil spring identified in 2025 was likely replaced, but the buyer should check the remaining springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion. Additionally, the history of thin front brake pads and tyres worn to the legal limit in 2024 and 2025 indicates that consumables are often run until they are near failure.
