Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The current roadworthiness status of this Vauxhall Mokka is excellent, with the vehicle maintaining a clean record over the last four years. The most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 83,955 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, confirming a stable and well-maintained condition. The absence of any advisories across multiple consecutive tests indicates that the previous owner has likely addressed mechanical requirements promptly, preventing minor wear from escalating into significant failures. The vehicle has covered 83,955 miles over its ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent and suggests regular, moderate operation rather than extended periods of inactivity or extreme high-mileage motorway use. The gap between the September 2022 test and the December 2023 test shows a slightly longer interval, yet the odometer readings confirm steady progress throughout the vehicle's life. The brief failure on 5 December 2024, followed immediately by a pass the next day, suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue rather than a systemic mechanical fault. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these components typically reach their service life threshold at this mileage. While the MOT history is clean, check the condition of the brake discs for scoring or lip formation and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the health of the drivetrain and checking for any oil leaks around the engine block remains a prudent step. The history suggests a car that has been treated with care, but a thorough visual check of these high-wear areas will confirm the integrity of the underlying components.
