2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · ST66 XCL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. In the November 2025 test at 48,894 miles, the Mokka flagged a perished offside front lower arm bush and an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This suggests that while the car passed previously without defects, the rubber components and tyres are now beginning to show signs of age rather than high mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,433 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2022 and 2025, with the car covering roughly 14,500 miles in that three-year period while maintaining clean MOT tests. This low annual mileage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts due to time, as evidenced by the perished lower arm bush identified in the 2025 record. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the lower arm bush replacement was completed correctly without affecting the steering geometry or adjacent rubber components. The uneven wear on the offside front tyre indicates a potential alignment issue, which should be verified to prevent premature wear on replacement rubber. Given the 2024 failure for a non-working rear stop lamp, a functional check of all exterior lighting circuits is necessary to ensure no further electrical faults have developed since the last repair.
