2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · WN17 VLC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on June 2026 at 71,118 miles, it had failed just one week prior due to multiple safety-related rectifications. The failure record involving both front tyres being at the legal limit of 1.6mm alongside a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and misaligned washer jets suggests the owner neglected basic consumable maintenance and minor repairs until forced by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 37,208 miles in June 2023 to 71,118 miles in June 2026. However, the gap of nearly 26,000 miles between the 2024 and 2026 tests indicates a recent increase in usage, which often correlates with the accelerated wear of rubber and suspension components seen in the deteriorated suspension arm ball joint dust cover noted at 45,187 miles. A buyer must inspect the engine bay for the oil leak identified in the June 2026 test. Although the tester noted the leak was not excessive, its persistence requires monitoring to determine if it is a simple gasket seal or something failing. The inner edge wear on the front tyres recorded during the latest failure indicates an alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that require immediate verification to prevent premature replacement of new rubber. Furthermore, the front suspension should be checked for play to ensure the previous deterioration issues found in 2024 have not spread across the remaining assembly.
