2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · SW67 JZE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a persistent trend of unaddressed exhaust-related issues. The most recent test in July 2025 at 58,329 miles confirmed a minor exhaust gas leak, a fault that has appeared in every inspection recorded since at least 2021. While the car passes its tests, the recurring nature of the exhaust leak suggests that the previous owners have only performed the minimum repairs necessary to secure an MOT pass certificate rather than seeking a definitive mechanical fix. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a steady progression between the December 2021 test at 26,299 miles and the July 2025 test at 58,329 miles. This low-usage profile generally indicates less wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, the low mileage may coincide with the degradation of rubber components, as seen with the tyres cracking and cracking due to age rather than distance driven. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the exhaust system to determine if the flexi pipe or central manifold requires total replacement, as the leak has persisted for four years. The record also highlights a history of neglected brake maintenance, with thin pads flagged in both 2021 and 2022. You should verify the current thickness of the discs and pads, as the perishing of the tyres noted in 2023 and 2024 indicates that the vehicle may have sat for long periods, leading to sidewall rot despite having sufficient tread depth.
