2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · CA67 HPX

This Vauxhall Mokka has maintained an exemplary MOT record over the past four years, with every test since August 2021 passing without any defects or advisories. The most recent inspection in September 2025 at 73,571 miles confirms the vehicle remains in sound mechanical condition, with no signs of recurring issues or deferred repairs. Such consistency suggests the car has been well maintained by its previous owners, adhering to a disciplined service schedule. The absence of even minor advisories—such as worn tyres, leaking fluids, or suspension wear—indicates a vehicle that has either been serviced meticulously or, more likely, driven with care and regular attention to wear items. The mileage progression is steady and unremarkable, averaging around 8,175 miles per year, which aligns closely with the typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. There are no sudden spikes or prolonged gaps in mileage accumulation; each annual test shows a predictable increase of roughly 10,000 miles. For instance, the jump from 43,345 miles in August 2022 to 54,052 miles in August 2023 reflects normal usage without excessive wear, while the most recent 9,911-mile increment between August 2024 and September 2025 further reinforces this pattern. The lack of mileage extremes—whether from neglect or aggressive driving—reduces the likelihood of hidden stress on components like the drivetrain, brakes, or suspension. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on components that, while not yet flagged, may show early signs of wear after nearly a decade of service. Pay particular attention to the suspension—specifically the condition of coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—since these can degrade over time even without visible MOT failures. The brake system, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been parked in damp or salty conditions. Structural integrity is less of a concern given the absence of rust advisories, but a close examination of the sills, wheel arches, and underbody for surface corrosion would be prudent. Finally, verify that all fluid levels—brake, coolant, and power steering—are topped up and free of contamination, as these are often overlooked in well-maintained vehicles but can still indicate impending issues. While the MOT record offers strong reassurance, the buyer should also confirm the vehicle’s full service history, particularly for items like timing belt replacement (if applicable) and differential fluid changes, which may not always be captured in MOT tests. The absence of defects does not preclude the need for due diligence on less frequently inspected areas.
