2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · SD65 JOU

The Vauxhall Mokka remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of deferred consumable replacements. The most recent test in January 2026 at 85,004 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a perished offside rear tyre showing cracking. This represents a slight improvement compared to the January 2025 test, where the tester flagged multiple tyres for reaching legal limits and exhibiting uneven wear. While the vehicle currently passes, the history suggests a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. The vehicle follows a consistent usage pattern averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year, which is typical for an eleven-year-old car. The record shows a steady accumulation of mileage, moving from 24,751 miles in 2019 to 85,004 miles by early 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest long periods of abandonment, though the interval between December 2020 and January 2021 shows a slight outlier where mileage dropped by only 8,625 miles, indicating lower usage during that specific period. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems due to recurring issues. The 2020 test flagged play in the offside track rod end ball joint, and the 2021 record noted pitted and scored brake discs along with fluctuating rear service brakes. The repeated reports of tyres worn on edges in 2020 and 2025 also indicate potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that require verification. Ensure the current state of the brake hardware is checked for uneven wear, as the history shows these components are frequently flagged before being addressed.
