2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · CS55 SUZ

An unusually low usage profile defines this vehicle, characterized by a consistent track record of clean MOT results without a single recorded defect or advisory across five consecutive tests. The most recent inspection on 19 August 2026 confirmed this trend, showing no issues with emissions, braking systems, or structural integrity. This pattern of passing tests without any flagged wear on consumables or components suggests a stable period of roadworthiness throughout the recorded testing intervals between 2023 and 2026. The recorded mileage of 14,836 miles for a 2016 model represents an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 1,484 miles per year. While this indicates minimal wear on high-friction components such as brake pads, discs, and tyre tread, such low annual accumulation often implies the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. Mechanically, vehicles with this specific usage pattern may experience different types of degradation compared to high-mileage counterparts, particularly regarding the condition of rubber seals, suspension bushes, and the potential for fluid stagnation within the braking and cooling systems. Given the lack of recorded advisories for components like suspension linkages, exhaust systems, or brake pipes, a physical inspection should focus on verifying that the low mileage has not resulted in age-related deterioration of perishable items. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any dull knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate that suspension bushes or coil springs have perished due to lack of movement rather than mechanical wear. Additionally, monitor the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or inconsistency, as long periods of inactivity can sometimes affect the integrity of hydraulic systems despite a clean MOT record. The absence of reported oil misting or fluid leaks in the recent history means the engine and drivetrain have appeared dry during official inspections. However, when inspecting the engine bay, check for any signs of weeping around gaskets or seals that may have dried out during periods of non-use. It is also prudent to observe the vehicle for any unusual vibrations or hesitations during low-speed manoeuvres to ensure that the drivetrain and clutch components have remained supple despite the minimal distance covered over the last decade.
