2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · DN16 CMY

This Vauxhall Mokka maintains a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent inspection on 2 April 2024. The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status, though the significant gap between the last test and today’s date suggests the car has been without a formal inspection for over sixteen months. While the record shows a clean history with no recorded defects or advisories, the repeated pattern of failing an initial test only to pass days later suggests administrative or minor pre-test preparation issues rather than systemic mechanical failure. The vehicle has accumulated 95,256 miles over its ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. This rate of use is consistent with typical private ownership and indicates a steady, rather than intensive, duty cycle. There are no signs of erratic mileage spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that would typically lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The consistent annual testing frequency up until early 2024 confirms the car remained in regular use for the majority of its life. Because the historical record is devoid of specific component advisories, you must conduct a thorough physical assessment of the common wear items that often escape MOT scrutiny. Focus your inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these are frequent failure points on the Mokka platform at this mileage. Check the brake discs for signs of scoring or heavy corrosion, particularly on the inner faces, and verify that the handbrake mechanism holds firmly on an incline. Given the lack of recent testing, ensure the engine bay shows no signs of fluid leaks or neglected maintenance, as the absence of recorded advisories does not guarantee the recent replacement of critical consumables.
