2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · WG14 DHD

The Vauxhall Mokka holds a current MOT valid until November 2026, having passed its most recent test on 22 November 2025 at 76,912 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but punctuated by recurring suspension and drivetrain wear. The 2025 failure revealed a significantly worn offside front suspension arm ball joint and a separated exhaust flexi section, both rectified before the pass. Persistent advisories around rear axle swivel pin bushes and oil seepage suggest long-term wear that has not been fully resolved, merely managed. The vehicle has covered 76,912 miles over roughly twelve years, averaging approximately 6,409 miles per year, which is typical for its age. Mileage accumulation was notably uneven. Between November 2023 at 53,379 miles and November 2024 at 64,592 miles, the car added 11,213 miles in a single year, indicating a period of heavier use. From November 2024 to November 2025, the odometer moved just 12 miles, pointing to either very light use or a long period of standing immediately before the test. Buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and steering components. The 2024 and 2025 failures both flagged deteriorated ball joint dust covers and excessively worn joints on the offside front, suggesting the nearside may now be following suit. Check the track rod ends and suspension arm boots for splits and play. The rear axle swivel pin bushes were flagged as starting to separate in both 2025 tests, a wear item that affects rear wheel alignment and tyre wear. Inspect the underside for corrosion around the rear beam mounting points. The exhaust flexi section failed catastrophically in November 2025. Confirm the replacement is secure and check for exhaust blows under load. The persistent oil leak noted as excessive on the engine or exhaust in 2025, downgraded to non-excessive by the pass, warrants a close look at the rocker cover gasket and oil cooler seals. Rear brake discs were flagged as pitted and scored in 2025, so expect near-term replacement. Front tyres repeatedly wear unevenly on their inner edges, indicating possible tracking or suspension geometry issues that persist despite repairs.
