2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · YY65 RWE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent MOT test on 27 May 2026 at 73,917 miles shows a pass following a failure just one day prior. This failure identified a damaged offside front track rod end joint dust cover, a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, and high handbrake travel. While the immediate faults were rectified, the recurring nature of advisories suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they are necessary to pass the annual inspection. At 73,917 miles over ten years, the Mokka averages approximately 7,400 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a personal crossover. The mileage accumulation is consistent between annual tests, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between 2024 and 2025, and another 8,400 miles between May 2025 and 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods which can otherwise cause component degradation. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The 2024 record at 56,465 miles flagged a binding offside rear brake disc with significant surface corrosion, and the high handbrake travel noted in May 2026 suggests the mechanism or cables may require further adjustment or replacement. Furthermore, the failure of the track rod end dust cover in 2026 necessitates a check of the entire steering geometry for play or uneven tyre wear. The repeated perishing of the nearside rear tyre, as seen in both 2025 and 2026, indicates the rubber may be aging despite having sufficient tread.
