2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · DN16 UDG

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-24 recorded a failure with three specific defects: a tyre pressure monitoring system malfunction , an inoperative registration plate lamp , and a damaged offside front track rod end dust cover . These issues suggest potential safety risks, particularly the track rod end defect, which could affect steering integrity. The same date also shows a pass entry, but this appears contradictory given the failure details. This inconsistency may indicate a data entry error, though the failure record takes precedence for assessment. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with braking systems and electrical components . A 2023-07-18 failure cited imbalanced front brakes requiring adjustment or repair, while a 2023-07-18 pass noted the same brake imbalance barely meeting standards. A 2024-08-02 pass mentioned worn front strut bushings , indicating gradual suspension wear. These patterns suggest ongoing maintenance needs in critical areas like brakes and steering, with no clear evidence of improvement over time. The vehicle’s mileage of 95,988 miles (about 9,599 miles per year) aligns with typical usage for its 10-year age, implying moderate wear rather than extreme degradation. However, the absence of major defects in the 2025-07-24 pass (despite the failure) complicates trend analysis.
