2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · BV68 CZU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT on 15 May 2026 at 49,912 miles with no recorded defects. This represents a significant improvement over the trend of reactive maintenance seen in previous years. While the most recent test is clean, the historical data reveals a consistent pattern of neglect regarding consumable items, which were only addressed after reaching critical points or as part of a test failure. At 49,912 miles over eight years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,240 miles per year, which aligns with typical light usage for a small crossover. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 4,800 miles covered between tests in September 2024 and September 2025, and another 3,500 miles covered between September 2025 and May 2026. This low mileage suggests the engine has not been subjected to high stress, but the low annual frequency explains the age-related degradation of rubber-based components noted in the records. The primary concern identified in the history is the recurring issue with tyre degradation. From August 2023 through September 2025, every test flagged all four tyres for cracking, perishing, or wearing to the legal limit. This indicates the previous owner frequently deferred tyre replacement until the components became a safety risk or a point of inspection failure. A buyer must verify that the current set of tyres is fresh and not suffering from the same sidewall cracking, as the low mileage often masks accelerated rubber rot over time. Attention should also be paid to the non-excessive oil leak noted during the September 2024 test at 41,557 miles. While the tester deemed it minor enough to pass, a physical inspection of the engine block and sump area is necessary to ensure the leak is stable and not worsening. The 2023 failure regarding the nearside front windscreen wiper appears resolved, but the wiper arm assembly should be checked for cracks or poor tension to ensure consistent visibility. Beyond these consumable and minor issues, the record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or major mechanical failures.
