2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · SD66 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 June 2026 at 57,160 miles. While the vehicle remains legal for road use, the most recent inspection identified two specific advisories: slight play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint and front brake discs that are worn, pitted, or scored. These issues suggest the beginning of wear in the steering and braking systems, though they do not currently constitute a failure. The mileage history indicates a low-use pattern, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. The data shows consistent annual testing, with a notable jump in mileage between November 2024 and June 2026, where the vehicle covered 10,527 miles. This period of higher usage aligns with the emergence of the current steering and brake advisories. The record shows a clean history between 2019 and 2021, suggesting the vehicle was well-maintained during its earlier years. A prospective buyer should focus on the steering and braking components during a physical inspection. The track rod end advisory indicates a need to check for any developing knocks or loose steering feel, as this component will eventually require replacement to maintain precise handling. The recurring mentions of pitted or scored brake discs, noted in both October 2023 and June 2026, suggest that the braking surfaces are subject to surface corrosion or heavy wear. I recommend inspecting the thickness of the discs and the condition of the pads to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Tyre maintenance appears to be a recurring area of concern for previous owners. The record shows a structural failure in October 2020, edge wear on both front tyres in October 2022, and sidewall cracking on the nearside rear in November 2024. This pattern of tyre-related advisories and failures suggests that consumables have occasionally been neglected. A thorough check of the current tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity is necessary to ensure they meet legal standards and are not showing signs of age-related perishing.
