2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · SW16 YCU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the latest test on 25 October 2025 at 59,165 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior. This failure highlighted multiple issues including suspension ball joint dust covers and a pitted rear brake disc. The persistence of an oil leak and a TPMS warning suggests that the owner only addresses faults when necessitated by an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 59,165 miles, the Mokka has covered a low annual average of approximately 5,900 miles over its decade. This low usage often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake surfaces due to lack of regular use. Between October 2023 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 16,682 miles, which aligns with this low-use profile. However, the failure in 2023 at 42,482 miles due to a major exhaust leak and emissions failure indicates the engine may have suffered from incomplete combustion. A buyer must inspect the vehicle specifically to ensure the nearside and offside front suspension arm ball joints were actually replaced, as the previous failure noted both dust covers were compromised. The nearside rear brake disc was flagged as pitted and scored in 2025; this should be checked for excessive thinness or binding calipers. Additionally, the persistent oil leak mentioned in the most recent tests requires investigation to determine if it is a minor seep or a more significant gasket failure that could worsen. The active TPMS light requires a diagnostic check to rule out a faulty sensor or a slow pressure leak in one of the tyres.
