2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · AF65 BTY

The Vauxhall Mokka currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 5 March 2026 at 101,828 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a clean pass. Prior to that, the vehicle showed a worsening trend: on 1 April 2025 at 93,395 miles it failed and passed on the same day with no defects logged, and the 12 June 2024 test at 91,108 miles and 10 July 2023 at 84,026 miles both passed clean. The record gives no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or emissions across the span, so no mechanical deterioration is evidenced in the data itself, but the twin 2025 results and the 2026 failure suggest slipshod test handling or overdue paperwork rather than steady upkeep. Mileage sits at 101,828 against an 11-year life, a modest 9,257 annual average. The climb from 84,026 in July 2023 to 91,108 by June 2024 added only 7,082 in eleven months. A sharper rise to 93,395 by April 2025 and then to 101,828 by March 2026 shows annual use near 8,400 to 8,400, consistent with typical private driving. No long standing periods or abrupt accumulation appear. The sparse, defect-free history implies previous owners addressed issues outside the MOT regime or the car saw light mechanical strain for its age. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT entries log no advisories yet give no assurance on hidden rust. Examine coil springs, suspension arms, and brake calipers for binding or wear not captured by the clean tests. The same-day fail-pass on 1 April 2025 at 93,395 miles warrants scrutiny of the failure cause through the test station, since DVSA shows no defect text. Confirm the 5 March 2026 failure is resolved with a fresh pass before purchase.
