2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DN68 XGL

The Vauxhall Mokka’s MOT history since 2022 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects or advisories recorded across five consecutive tests. The most recent examination on 2025-11-28—just seven months ago—confirmed compliance without fail, suggesting the vehicle has met DVSA’s minimum standards for brakes, emissions, suspension, and structural integrity. However, the duplicate entry for a failed test on the same date in 2025 appears anomalous and may indicate a clerical error rather than a mechanical issue. No advisories or recurring faults have been logged, which implies the vehicle has not experienced persistent problems requiring owner intervention. The recorded mileage of 67,579 miles over eight years equates to approximately 8,447 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical usage for this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, and the intervals between MOTs align precisely with the three-year cycle, suggesting regular registration compliance. While this pattern does not reveal overt neglect, it also does not provide evidence of proactive maintenance beyond statutory requirements. The absence of mileage discrepancies between tests further supports that the odometer has not been tampered with. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer’s primary focus should be on verifying the condition of high-wear components not directly tested under MOT regulations. The suspension system—particularly the front and rear bushes, coil springs, and dampers—should be inspected for excessive play, fluid leaks, or uneven wear, as these are not routinely checked during MOTs. Brake pads and discs should be measured for thickness and inspected for lateral run-out or uneven wear, which could indicate binding calipers or warping. Additionally, the subframe and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, as the Mokka’s design is susceptible to rust in these areas, even if not flagged in previous tests. Finally, the exhaust system’s integrity should be confirmed, as catalytic converter damage or leaks often go unnoticed until emissions tests fail.
