2016 VAUXHALL MOKKA1.4L Petrol

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-12 at 56,709 miles confirmed full roadworthiness with no defects, maintaining a consistent pass trend across all recorded tests since 2022. The absence of advisories or recurring failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing, though the 2024 entry—where the car was tested and passed twice on the same day—appears anomalous and may indicate a procedural oversight rather than mechanical issues. Structural integrity and major systems like brakes, suspension, and emissions have not been flagged, but the lack of advisories in prior tests means no pre-existing concerns have been documented. The recorded mileage of 56,709 miles over approximately nine years equates to an average of around 6,300 miles annually, which is modest for a vehicle of this age. Notably, there is a significant gap between the 2022 test at 36,159 miles and the 2023 test at 47,222 miles—an increase of over 11,000 miles in a single year—before the pace stabilised. This suggests either a period of heavier use or extended storage, which could have accelerated wear on components like tyres, suspension bushes, or fluid systems. The consistent pass rates imply no major mechanical neglect, but the sudden mileage spike warrants scrutiny of high-wear items. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which often degrade unevenly with rapid mileage changes. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle was driven aggressively during the 2023–2024 period. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is also worth examining, as prolonged standing can accelerate rust. Fluid levels—brake, power steering, and coolant—should be verified, as these are not routinely tested in MOTs but can degrade silently over time. The absence of advisories does not guarantee all issues are absent, so a thorough mechanical review is essential.
