2013 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · SF63 VLG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding the braking system and suspension. The most recent test in March 2026 at 144,715 miles flagged multiple braking issues across all axles, including imbalanced nearside rear brakes and fluctuating front service brakes. While the vehicle passed, the frequent notes regarding requirements being only just met suggest a pattern where the owner is performing only the bare minimum work necessary to pass the annual test rather than conducting proactive preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 144,715 miles over 13 years represents an average of approximately 11,132 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a car of this age. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with 20,000 miles driven between January 2024 and March 2025, and another 20,500 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady accumulation explains the accelerated wear observed on consumable components such as brake pads and discs which appear repeatedly throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking hardware and front suspension. The history shows a recurring failure to address worn pads and discs, with the 2026 test specifically highlighting thin front pads and worn discs on all four wheels. Furthermore, the previous reports of play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint in 2022 and the nearside front track rod end in 2023 indicate that the suspension components likely require replacement to ensure steering precision and safety. The oil leak noted in March 2025 also warrants visual verification to ensure it has not progressed into a significant leak that could affect engine reliability.
