2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · SR15 AEA

The 2026‑07‑01 MOT at 43,101 miles passed, confirming roadworthiness, but the preceding 2026‑06‑30 test at the same mileage failed on a fractured near‑side rear coil spring, insecure front suspension dust covers and track rod end ball joints, and tyres worn on the inner edge, indicating a recent worsening trend that was remedied before the final pass. At 11 years old, the vehicle has accumulated 43,101 miles, averaging 3,918 miles per year, a figure that is low for its age; however, mileage accelerated dramatically in 2025‑2026, rising from 31,968 miles in June 2025 to 43,101 miles in June 2026, a gain of over 11,000 miles in a single year, suggesting intensified use or long idle periods followed by heavy driving. Recurring issues include repeated inner‑edge tyre wear noted from 2021 through 2026 (5.2.3 (e)), insecure dust covers on the front suspension arms and track rod ends recorded in 2026 (5.3.4 (b) (ii) and 2.1.3 (g) (ii)), a fractured rear coil spring (5.3.1 (b) (i)) and progressively worn brake pads (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) observed in 2025, 2024 and 2023, all pointing to neglected suspension protection and brake maintenance. A buyer should therefore inspect the front and rear suspension for play or corrosion in ball joints, track rod ends, coil spring and bushings, verify tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear, check brake pad thickness and disc condition, ensure all dust covers are intact, and confirm there is no binding or excessive movement in the steering or suspension linkage.
