2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · SF17 FDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs and recurring mechanical issues. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 93,744 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring. The presence of multiple advisories on the passing certificate, including an oil leak, defective wiper blades, and significant tyre damage, suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT pass rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. There was a recorded accumulation of 11,466 miles between August 2023 (69,592 miles) and August 2024 (81,058 miles), followed by another 12,686 miles leading to the 2025 test. This steady usage indicates the car is driven regularly, which helps prevent seals from drying out, but also explains the wear seen on rubber components and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the engine bay to identify the source of the oil leak, which has been noted in both 2023 and 2025. The suspension requires scrutiny, as the record shows a previously broken coil spring and a failed ball joint dust cover, indicating that components may be reaching the end of their service life. Furthermore, the braking system showed signs of overheating and worn discs on the nearside rear in 2023; a prospective buyer should verify if the rear brakes have been properly replaced or if they remain thin and pitted.
