2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · YA64 CEJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 89,388 miles indicates a pass following a failure just two days prior. This failure was triggered by multiple tyre defects, including a cut reaching the cords, and pitted rear brake discs. While the car passed after these issues were addressed, the presence of pitting on the discs suggests the previous owner only replaced components once they threatened the MOT certificate. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old Vauxhall Mokka averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. There is a significant discrepancy in the records between January 2024 at 89,242 miles and August 2024 at 83,538 miles, which suggests a data entry error by the tester or an inconsistency. However, the overall progression of roughly 15,000 miles between January 2023 and August 2025 confirms a steady, typical usage pattern that does not indicate extreme strain or long periods of neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components. The 2024 advisory regarding thin brake pads followed by the 2025 failure for pitted rear discs indicates the braking system is nearing the end of its service life. Additionally, the 2024 report flagged play in the anti-roll bar ball joints suggests that the front suspension is beginning to wear out. You should check for signs of grease leaking from rubber boots and verify that the rear brake calipers move freely without binding, as the history shows a recurring issue with corrosion on the rear assembly.
