2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · ST67 AAF

The 2017 Vauxhall Mokka presents a mixed mechanical health record with a maintenance pattern that leans toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. In the most recent test on July 15, 2025, at 44,375 miles, the vehicle passed after initially failing due to multiple tyre defects. The failure sheet noted an incorrectly fitted offside rear tyre alongside worn and perishing rubber across the axle. While the vehicle currently holds a valid certificate expiring in July 2026, the recurring trend of initial MOT failures indicates that previous keepers routinely rely on the test station to identify basic maintenance oversights rather than servicing the car ahead of time. Accumulating just 44,375 miles over nine years yields a low annual average of approximately 4,931 miles, reflecting exceptionally light use. The mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent year on year, sitting at 20,149 miles in September 2021, 31,244 miles in September 2023, and reaching 39,106 miles by July 2024. This steady pacing avoids the harmful extremes of rapid commercial wear or prolonged periods of stagnant storage. The test intervals show normal annual spacing, and the low mileage confirms that core drivetrain components have experienced minimal physical stress since the car left the factory. Prospective buyers must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems to address historical vulnerabilities. The vehicle required new front suspension arm ball joint dust covers in June 2024 at 36,108 miles and suffered an offside front coil spring fracture during the September 2023 test at 31,242 miles. Brake friction material also demands careful scrutiny. The September 2023 test recorded dangerously thin rear brake pads measuring under 1.5 millimetres, following advisory warnings for thin pads across all four corners back in September 2021. Checking the current condition of the brake discs, suspension arms, and tyre sidewalls will reveal whether recent maintenance standards match the low mileage promise.
