2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · VU68 ACX

This Vauxhall Mokka presents a clean MOT history over the past three years, with the most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 44,942 miles showing no defects or advisories. The trend is stable, with consecutive passes since the duplicate entry on 30 August 2023 —a date that appears twice but with one marked as a fail (likely a clerical error, as no defects were recorded). The absence of recurring advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained under test conditions, though the single failed entry without faults raises minor uncertainty about data accuracy. No major wear items such as brakes, suspension, or structural corrosion have been flagged in recent years, indicating compliance with basic roadworthiness standards. The mileage accumulation is unusually low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging just 5,618 miles per year , which may reflect light use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2022 test at 35,836 miles and the 2023 test at 40,984 miles —a span of roughly 5,148 miles over 12 months —further supports this. Such low mileage reduces typical wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and clutch, but it also means components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and hydraulic fluid may have degraded slowly without regular use. The lack of mileage progression could also imply the vehicle has been stored intermittently, which may accelerate issues like seized bearings or degraded rubber seals if not properly maintained. For a buyer, the primary focus should be on components less frequently checked in MOTs but critical for long-term reliability. Given the low mileage, inspect the brake fluid condition and hydraulic system for moisture ingress or leaks, as stagnant fluid can corrode seals. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for dry rot or cracking, particularly if the car has spent time unused. The exhaust system should be examined for surface rust or loose mounts, as corrosion can develop even with minimal driving. While the MOT history is reassuring, the vehicle’s light usage raises the possibility of deferred maintenance—verifying service records for oil changes, brake fluid renewal, and tyre rotations would be prudent. No major structural or mechanical red flags are present, but the absence of advisories does not guarantee hidden wear.
