2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · YS64 TFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred attention to mechanical components. The most recent test in May 2026 at 70,203 miles identified a significant list of advisories that were not present or resolved in previous years. While the car passed, the accumulation of faults related to suspension boots, thinning brake pads, and tyre degradation suggests that the owner is only addressing issues at the point of MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 70,203 miles over eleven years, the Mokka averages approximately 6,382 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate urban usage. The mileage data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 3,600 miles driven between April 2025 and May 2026. However, the low annual mileage likely explains the visible deterioration of rubber components. The perishing and cracking tyres noted in 2023 and 2026 indicate that the vehicle may sit for long periods, leading to dry rot despite the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the nearside and offside ball joint dust covers were flagged as severely deteriorated in 2025 and remained a concern into 2026. These boots allow grease to escape and grit to enter, leading to joint failure. The offside shock absorber top mount bush also requires monitoring for signs of play or knocking noise. Additionally, the coolant leak reported in 2023 should be verified as repaired to ensure the cooling system has not suffered thermal stress from long-term fluid loss. The braking system requires immediate attention as the front pads were recorded as wearing thin in the May 2026 test. The presence of nails in both front tyres and uneven wear on the nearside front tyre suggests a lack of basic vehicle checks. The non-excessive oil leak identified in May May 2026 should be located to determine if it is a minor seal or a more significant gasket failure that could lead to engine damage if left ignored.
