2013 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · SY63 XAC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative servicing. While it passed the latest test on 27 August 2025 at 77,892 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior. That failure highlighted significant braking issues, including thin rear pads, an excessively binding nearside rear caliper, and a major imbalance across the front axle. Although these were addressed to secure the pass, the frequency of mechanical faults suggests that the braking system is reaching a point of significant degradation. At 77,892 miles, this 2013 Mokka shows low annual usage, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The records show consistent annual testing, with roughly 9,400 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 9,400 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This low-mileage profile often masks accelerated wear of rubber components and corrosion due to age, which aligns with the recurring exhaust-related issues noted in the history. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the exhaust system and suspension assembly. The record shows a persistent history of exhaust leaks from the tailbox and flexi-joint dating back to 2023, accompanied by general corrosion, suggesting the entire system may be nearing the end of its functional life. Furthermore, the vehicle has previously flagged anti-roll bar linkages and track rod ends. The buyer should check for play in these ball joints and verify that the recent brake overhaul has been fully rectified, as uneven braking performance is a safety risk that can affect stopping distances and cause premature tyre wear.
