2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · DE16 ACJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-01-22 at 97,085 miles, but a failed test on 2026-01-20 at 97,080 miles occurred without recorded defects. This suggests a potential inconsistency in the testing process or a minor issue resolved between tests. Subsequent MOTs from 2022 to 2024 show no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record. The lack of recorded faults in the past four years implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the abrupt failure and re-pass without explanation warrants scrutiny. The mileage of 97,085 miles over 10 years aligns with an average of 9,708 miles annually, a typical rate for this age. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals, with the longest gap between 2024-12-13 (91,938 miles) and 2026-01-22 (97,085 miles), spanning 14 months. This period saw a 5,147-mile increase, reflecting steady usage. No significant mileage spikes or extended inactivity periods are evident, suggesting regular operation without prolonged standing. While no structural or mechanical defects were recorded, the failed 2026 test without details means the buyer should verify if repairs were undertaken. A physical inspection should focus on brake systems, as minor issues can trigger emissions or safety failures. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be checked for wear, given the vehicle’s age. Corrosion in underbody areas and exhaust system integrity are also critical, as these often degrade over time without visible MOT failures. The absence of advisories on tyres or wiper blades suggests routine checks, but a closer look at tread depth and condition is advisable.
