2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · CV66 FPU

This Vauxhall Mokka presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 30 April 2025 at 44,163 miles showing no defects—an outcome repeated across all four recorded examinations. The absence of advisories, minor faults, or failures in the past three years suggests the vehicle has been well maintained within the MOT framework, with no signs of recurring mechanical or structural issues. The consistent pass rates, particularly the two back-to-back clear tests in 2024 and 2025, indicate that routine checks—such as brakes, suspension, and emissions—have been addressed proactively. That said, the lack of recorded advisories could also imply either meticulous upkeep or, less likely, a test centre overlooking minor wear items like tyre tread depth or fluid levels. The mileage progression reveals a vehicle that has seen light use for its age, accumulating just 4,416 miles annually over the past decade. The gap between the 2022 test (39,770 miles) and the 2024 test (42,569 miles) —a span of 21 months with only 2,799 miles covered —strongly suggests periods of inactivity, possibly long-term storage or infrequent use. Such low mileage reduces wear on high-stress components like clutch assemblies, gearbox synchronisers, and suspension bushes, but it may also mask hidden issues if fluids were neglected during dormancy. The most recent mileage increment, from 42,569 to 44,163 miles (1,594 miles) in just over a year , aligns with the recent trend of minimal but steady usage. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be on consumable items not covered by the MOT , given the clean test history. Tyre condition—particularly tread depth and sidewall integrity—should be verified, as the MOT does not mandate tread limits below 1.6mm. Braking performance, including pedal feel and binding calipers, warrants close inspection, even though no faults were logged; low-mileage vehicles can still develop uneven wear if driving habits vary. Suspension components, such as coil springs and anti-roll bars, should be checked for corrosion or sagging, especially if the car has spent time in damp or salty conditions. Finally, while the MOT history is reassuring, a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic would be prudent to confirm the absence of hidden issues in areas like the exhaust system, drivetrain seals, or interior electrical systems—all of which could degrade even with minimal mileage.
