2022 Vauxhall Mokka SRI Premium Turbo D 1.5L Diesel · CF22 MTX

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-01 confirmed roadworthiness with no defects, though the preceding test on 2025-06-27—just four days earlier—resulted in a failure without recorded issues. This abrupt reversal suggests either a minor oversight in the test process or a temporary anomaly, as no defects were logged. The vehicle’s current MOT status is therefore technically compliant, but the lack of transparency in the failure record raises questions about the thoroughness of the inspection. No recurring faults or advisories appear in the available data, indicating no obvious pattern of mechanical neglect or progressive wear. The recorded mileage of 13,303 miles at the time of the latest test aligns with an unusually low annual average of approximately 3,326 miles over its four-year lifespan. This suggests the vehicle has experienced minimal use, which could imply either careful owner maintenance or prolonged periods of inactivity. The identical mileage at both the failed and passed tests further supports this, as there is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or accelerated wear. However, low mileage alone does not preclude potential issues—particularly if the car has been stored in damp conditions, as this can accelerate corrosion or degrade fluids without significant mechanical stress. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not always captured in standard MOT tests. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of bushes, coil springs, and strut mounts, as these can degrade over time even with low mileage. The brakes, while not explicitly flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Additionally, examine the underbody for signs of corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity without causing immediate MOT failures. Fluid levels and condition—brakes, power steering, and engine oil—should also be checked, as neglect in these areas can lead to silent failures.
