2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · SD15 OCY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean record to active mechanical wear. While the car passed its previous four annual tests without defects, the November 2025 test at 57,462 miles flagged thin front brake pads, worn front brake discs, and play in the offside front track rod end ball joint. This suggests the vehicle is now beginning to require scheduled maintenance on consumable components following a long period of clean operation. The mileage profile is remarkably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,224 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2021 and 2025, with the car covering roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles between annual tests. This low-intensity usage often implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and seals due to stationary periods, which may explain the sudden appearance of the track rod play noted in the latest test. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the front suspension to ensure the track rod end has been replaced, as play in this component affects steering precision and causes uneven tyre wear. The brake system requires immediate attention since the tester flagged both thin pads and worn discs, indicating the front assembly is nearing its service limit. Given the age of the Mokka, the buyer should also physically check for surface corrosion on the chassis and sills, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from environmental oxidation despite low mechanical wear.
