2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · ST67 AVB

Recurring issues with the exhaust system and tyre integrity define the roadworthiness record of this vehicle, which passed its latest test on 27 October 2025. Between 2022 and 2024, the records show a persistent pattern of minor exhaust gas leaks at the front flexi-joint, alongside repeated failures or advisories regarding tyre tread depth and perishing rubber. While the most recent test was clean, the historical trend indicates a recurring vulnerability in the exhaust flexi-section and a consistent need for tyre replacements. The recorded mileage of 43,527 miles over approximately nine years equates to an annual average of roughly 4,836 miles. This low accumulation rate indicates the vehicle has been used significantly less than the national average. Mechanically, such low usage can lead to the degradation of rubber components through age rather than wear, which is reflected in the multiple MOT advisories for cracking and perishing tyres observed in 2023 and 2024. Attention should be paid to the exhaust system during a physical inspection, specifically the front flexi-joint where leaks were flagged across three consecutive years. During a test drive, listen for any abnormal rasping or blowing sounds from the engine bay or underfloor area, which would indicate the leak has returned. The tyre pressure monitoring system has also been flagged as inoperative in the past, so verify that the dashboard warning lights cycle correctly and that no TPMS alerts remain active during the drive. Check the current condition of all four tyres for signs of sidewall cracking or uneven wear, particularly on the offside front and nearside rear, as these have been specific points of failure or advisory. While brake pad wear was noted in 2021, ensure there is no pedal judder or pulling to one side under braking to confirm the braking system is operating evenly and that the pads have been replaced since the 2021 advisory.
