2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · SW67 MMA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on August 4 2025 at 31,290 miles saw a failure due to a severely deteriorated front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover and an ineffective offside windscreen wiper. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the recurrence of suspension-related faults suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of legal failure. At 31,290 miles over eight years, the Mokka has clocked significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it often correlates with accelerated degradation of rubber-based components. Between August 2022 and August 2024, the vehicle covered only 8,595 miles, yet the record consistently flagged the nearside rear outer tyre for being worn or showing cracking. This indicates the tyres are failing due to age and আলোচনায় rather than distance driven. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, specifically checking all ball joints and bushings for play or perished boots, following the 2025 failure. The persistent history of uneven tyre wear on the nearside rear suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn camber arm that has not been properly corrected. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also inspect brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which are common in vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. Finally, verify the operation of the wiper motor and check the condition of all rubber seals to ensure dry rot has not affected the vehicle beyond the tyres.
