2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · CK05 ADE

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT, conducted on 25 September 2025 at 75,758 miles , passed without any defects—a clean result that aligns with the two preceding tests from 18 September 2024 (70,885 miles) and 20 September 2023 (64,672 miles), both of which also passed on first attempt. The absence of advisories or failures in the last three tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level to meet minimum roadworthiness standards, though the repeated failures on the same test date in 2023 and 2024 (both showing no defects) appear to be an anomaly in the DVSA system rather than a mechanical issue. The stability of the last three passes indicates no immediate red flags, but the lack of advisories could also imply that minor wear—such as tyre condition, brake fluid levels, or suspension components—has been overlooked rather than actively managed. The car’s mileage accumulation of 6,313 miles per year over its 12-year lifespan is entirely typical for its age, with no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity to suggest neglect or infrequent use. The 5,113-mile gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests and the 4,873-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests reflect consistent, moderate driving patterns. There’s no evidence of aggressive mileage accumulation that might strain components like the clutch, gearbox, or suspension, nor are there signs of prolonged disuse that could lead to issues like seized bearings or degraded fluids. The clean MOT history over the last three years reinforces that the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme conditions or abuse. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be on components that typically wear over time but are not always caught in MOT tests. Given the lack of advisories, inspect the brake system thoroughly , including the condition of disc pads, caliper operation, and brake fluid colour and level , as binding brakes or uneven wear could develop without being flagged. Check the suspension —specifically the front and rear bushings, coil springs, and dampers —for signs of wear or leakage, as these are common areas for silent degradation. The exhaust system should be examined for rust or loose mounts, particularly around the intermediate and rear sections, while the underbody and wheel arches warrant close inspection for corrosion that could compromise structural integrity. Finally, verify the tyre tread depth and condition , even if the MOT passed, as the absence of advisories may indicate previous owners prioritised passing the test over proactive maintenance.
