2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · FY16 ABK

The Vauxhall Mokka passed its most recent MOT on 17 December 2025 at 52,051 miles with only a minor advisory for rear brake pads wearing thin. The maintenance trend is stable and improving. The earlier failure on 5 January 2024 for a fractured near-side rear coil spring was rectified and the vehicle passed later that same day at 45,496 miles. Since then, successive tests in December 2024 and December 2025 recorded no fresh mechanical defects beyond consumable wear. At roughly 5,205 miles per year, the 2016 Mokka shows low usage for its age. The odometer moved from 39,918 miles at the December 2022 test to 45,494 miles by the January 2024 failure, then climbed steadily to 49,001 miles in December 2024 and 52,051 miles in December 2025. No large gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse record with two clean passes and one rapid same-day repair suggests the previous keeper addressed statutory faults promptly despite neglecting edge tyre wear. The January 2024 failure flagged a near-side rear coil spring fractured at 45,494 miles, a structural suspension fault now resolved but worth re-checking for fatigue in the opposite spring. The same test noted near-side front tyre worn on the edge and off-side rear tyre cracking, both consumable items. The December 2025 advisory for rear brake pads wearing thin implies the calipers and discs have not yet been flagged, yet pad life should be verified physically. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or cracking, confirm the rear brake disc condition behind the thin pads, and examine all four tyres for sidewall perishing. The low annual mileage may mean longer standing periods, so check for underbody corrosion and brake binding that short tests can miss.
