2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · SD66 AHG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening wear and age-related faults. While it passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 89,553 miles, this followed a failure just days prior due to multiple safety defects. The transition from a clean test in April 2024 to several mechanical failures suggests the vehicle is entering a period where components require more frequent replacement. At 89,553 miles over nine years, the Mokka has averaged approximately 9,950 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a family crossover. The data shows a steady progression of mileage, with roughly 4,700 miles covered between November 2023 and April 2024, and another 1,900 miles leading into June 2025. There is no evidence of significant neglect, but the mileage is sufficient to justify the degradation of suspension and braking components. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension, as the history reveals recurring issues with artwork springs, moving from fractured units in 2023 to corroded springs and mounting damage in 2025. The track rod ends also showed excessive play during the most recent failure, so the steering geometry should be verified to ensure all ball joints were properly replaced. Furthermore, the braking system is noted for having worn and pitted discs across all four wheels. While not a failure, this indicates the brakes are nearing the end of their effective life. The exhaust system at the central front flexi should also be monitored, as corrosion in this area typically progresses toward a more significant leak if not addressed.
