2013 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · SJ63 AEE

The 2013 Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-02 at 79,993 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2026-02-25 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unreported concerns. The prior tests from 2025-11-05 and 2024-10-31 also passed with no defects, indicating a generally stable maintenance record. However, the proximity of the failed and passed tests at identical mileages raises questions about the vehicle’s mechanical consistency. Mileage progression shows a gradual increase, with 78,097 miles recorded in 2024-10-29, followed by a 1,700-mile rise to 79,791 miles by 2025-11-05, then a minimal 202-mile jump to 79,993 miles by 2026-03-02. This pattern suggests low usage in the 13-month period between 2024-10 and 2025-11, which could indicate infrequent use or storage. The recent tests at 79,993 miles, just four months prior to the current date, confirm the vehicle’s age and mileage align with typical expectations for its 13-year lifespan. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear points in older models. The absence of recorded defects in the MOT history does not preclude hidden issues, such as corrosion in the exhaust system or minor brake disc warping, which may not trigger immediate failures. Inspecting the brake calipers for binding and checking the steering linkage for play would be prudent, given the lack of detailed fault reports in the history.
