2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · CK15 FKX

A clean bill of health on the most recent DVSA examination dated 18 February 2026 confirms that this Mokka continues to meet statutory roadworthiness standards without any recorded defects or advisories, and that outcome sits within a generally stable testing pattern. The vehicle has now passed two consecutive MOT tests with no items flagged, following an isolated failure earlier in February 2025 that occurred just twelve days before a subsequent pass on 24 February 2025, suggesting the earlier failure was rectified promptly rather than indicative of a deeper underlying defect. A second failure was also recorded on 14 February 2024, immediately followed by a pass on the same date, which mirrors the same pattern of immediate remedial work. Across the four years of recorded testing history, no corrosion, brake, suspension, or exhaust advisories have been logged, which is a notably clean record for an eleven-year-old crossover and points to no chronic wear patterns emerging in the tested systems. With 74,242 miles accumulated over eleven years, the Mokka has been driven at an average rate of approximately 6,749 miles annually, a figure that aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age and class. The mileage progression between annual tests is consistent and shows no dramatic spikes that might indicate a sudden change in usage such as a long motorway commute or towing duties, nor does it show the stagnation that would suggest extended periods off the road. This steady, moderate usage is mechanically favourable: the engine, transmission, clutch, and turbocharger (where fitted) have experienced regular thermal cycling without the extremes of either very high annual mileages or prolonged standing, both of which carry their own risks for oil seals, gaskets, and battery health. Routine service items such as timing chains, coolant, and automatic transmission fluid (if applicable) should nevertheless be reviewed against the documented service schedule. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recurring advisories means there are no specific components with a documented wear history to scrutinise, but the components most commonly associated with MOT failure on this generation of Mokka should still be examined closely during a pre-purchase inspection. Pay particular attention to the front suspension, as the Mokka is known for wear in the lower control arm bushes and front stabiliser bar drop links, which can produce clonking noises over speed humps and uneven road surfaces. The rear suspension coil springs should be checked for signs of corrosion or sagging, which would manifest as a noticeable lean to one side or reduced rear ride height when the vehicle is unladen. Steering play, uneven tyre wear across the front axle, and any knocking from the front subframe area during a test drive over broken tarmac would warrant further investigation by a technician. The braking system should be evaluated by feel during the test drive: a soft or spongy pedal, vibration through the pedal under firm application, or any pulling to one side under braking would suggest caliper binding, warped front discs, or a hydraulic issue that has not yet reached MOT failure thresholds. Listen for any brake squeal or grinding on light application, as the handbrake mechanism and rear drum or disc components on Mokka models of this era can suffer from corrosion and seizure if the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, even though the recorded mileage does not suggest this. Finally, request evidence of recent cambelt or timing chain service history appropriate to the engine variant fitted, inspect the undertray and engine bay for any oil weepage from the valve cover gasket or turbo oil feed pipes, and confirm that all warning lights on the instrument cluster extinguish promptly on start-up. Given the clean MOT history, this Mokka presents as a mechanically sound candidate, provided the standard age-related consumables are verified during the physical inspection.
