2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DC15 ABZ

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT test on 2025-09-25 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 86,271 miles. The consistent pass history over the past five tests—spanning from October 2022 to September 2025—indicates no recurring mechanical failures, though the duplicate entry for 2022 (a pass followed by a fail at identical mileage) suggests either a clerical error or an unusually brief retest interval. The vehicle’s current MOT is valid for just under a year, meaning it will require re-testing by 2026-09-25. While the absence of advisories or defects in recent tests is reassuring, the lack of any warnings does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The recorded mileage progression of roughly 7,800 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The gap between tests remains consistent at one year, which is standard for a car of this vintage. There is no evidence of excessive wear from high mileage, nor does the record suggest prolonged neglect, though the 2022 duplicate test—both at 72,086 miles—stands out as an anomaly worth clarifying with the seller. No advisories or defects in the past five tests imply the previous owner adhered to basic maintenance, but this does not guarantee all components have been serviced beyond legal requirements. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity, particularly the condition of rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, while not explicitly flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Corrosion in wheel arches, sills, or subframes—common in Vauxhall models of this era—must be thoroughly examined, as hidden rust can compromise structural integrity. The exhaust system should also be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, particularly around joints and mounts. While the MOT record provides no red flags, these areas are critical for a vehicle approaching 11 years and 86,000 miles.
