2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · CH61 BOW

The vehicle maintains a clean record of roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 31 March 2026 resulting in a pass at 71,707 miles. The history shows a stable trend of compliance, as the tester recorded no defects or advisories during the last three annual inspections. While the vehicle failed its initial attempts in both 2025 and 2026, these failures appear to be administrative or minor procedural issues rather than evidence of recurring mechanical neglect, given the immediate rectification and subsequent passes within days. At 71,707 miles over an eleven-year lifespan, the vehicle averages approximately 6,500 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent with typical domestic driving and suggests the car has not been subjected to excessive long-distance wear or prolonged periods of inactivity that often lead to seized components or perished seals. The steady accumulation of mileage between the 2024 test at 56,187 miles and the current date indicates regular, moderate use, which is generally favourable for the longevity of the engine and drivetrain. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components frequently show signs of fatigue on this platform after a decade of service. You should also verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the MOT test checks for operational efficiency but does not always account for the remaining life of consumables. Check the underside of the chassis for any signs of surface corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe mounting points, to ensure the structural integrity remains as sound as the test record implies.
