2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · YL67 FEX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 12 May 2026 at 60,051 miles. However, the maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive. The car failed the test on that same day due to a defective nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover and a low battery voltage warning. While these faults were rectified to secure a pass, the immediate failure suggests that mechanical components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure. At approximately eight years old, the 60,051 miles represent an average of roughly 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical light-use patterns for this class. The mileage accumulation is consistent across years, moving from 40,989 miles in June 2023 to 47,224 miles in June 2024, and reaching 54,110 miles by May 2025. This low-frequency usage pattern suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, potentially contributing to the degradation of rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and tyres. The record shows a recurring issue with perishing tyres noted in 2023 and 2025, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where rubber dries out over time. The recent dust cover failure in 2026 indicates a need to check all other suspension arm bushes and ball joints for play or perished boots. Additionally, the thin rear brake pads flagged in 2025 necessitate a thorough check of the current brake pad remaining life to ensure they were actually replaced following that advisory.
