2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · WT16 AEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 60,276 miles flagged a minor exhaust gas leak, which persists from an advisory noted in the previous year's test. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of mechanical and consumable faults suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a failure point or advisory threshold. At 60,276 miles, the Mokka has covered an average of approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with its ten-year age. The data shows a relatively clean period between 2019 and early 2021 where no defects were recorded. However, since the mileage surpassed 32,000 miles in 2022, the frequency of recorded faults has increased, particularly regarding brakes, tyres, and exhaust components. This indicates that while the annual mileage is low, the age of the rubber and metal components is beginning to cause degradation, leading to consistent advisories. A buyer must pay close attention to the exhaust system, as the flexi-section has progressed from a major leak in 2023 to a persistent minor leak in 2026. The suspension also requires a physical check; the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint was flagged with slight play in 2025, and there is no recorded evidence of this being replaced. Furthermore, the brake history shows a chronic pattern of thin pads across both axles, and the tyres have frequently been noted as nearing legal limits or perishing. The buyer should verify the current condition of the brake discs and the depth of all tyres to ensure no immediate expenditure is required shortly after purchase.
