2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · CY16 LUH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its annual inspections. The most recent test conducted in February 2025 at 48,426 miles resulted with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. Following a single failure in early 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean record across three consecutive tests, suggesting that the owner has addressed necessary repairs and maintained basic mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2025, the car covered 10,001 miles, which reflects a pattern of short trips or infrequent use. This low usage typically implies less wear on high-stress drivetrain components, the engine clutch, and brake pads. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods between these annual tests. Since the MOT record shows no recurring structural failures or persistent mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Inspect the brakes for signs of corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning the rotors. Check the suspension bushes and sidewalls for cracking or perish, which occurs due to age regardless of distance driven. Given the age of the vehicle, verify the underbody for any surface rust on the chassis to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the low mileage.
