2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DN68 XHM

A largely trouble‑free MOT history underpins this 2018 Vauxhall Mokka, with four consecutive passes and only minor advisories recorded. The latest test on 18 November 2025 confirmed a clean result, continuing a pattern of stable roadworthiness that has shown no serious defects over the past five years. The only recorded issues were a 2023 advisory for front tyre tread approaching the legal limit and a defective windscreen wiper blade, both of which are easily remedied and do not indicate systemic failure. At 93,152 miles the mileage averages roughly 11,600 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the normal usage envelope for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in the MOT chronology, suggesting regular testing and continuous road use rather than prolonged storage. This level of mileage typically translates to wear on consumables such as brake pads, discs, suspension bushings and tyre rubber, but it does not, in isolation, raise red flags beyond the routine checks expected at this stage. Prospective buyers should give immediate attention to the front tyre condition. Verify tread depth on both nearside and offside fronts, looking for uneven wear that could point to mis‑alignment or worn suspension components. A test‑drive should include a straight‑line run to detect any pull to one side and a gentle sweep over a speed‑bump to feel for vibration or looseness in the steering rack or front uprights. Replace the tyres if tread is below the legal minimum or if sidewall damage is evident, and have the wheel alignment checked and corrected as part of that service. The windscreen wiper blade should also be inspected for streaking or failure to clear the glass; replacement is inexpensive and restores proper visibility in adverse weather. Beyond the tyres, inspect the braking system for consistent pedal feel and listen for squeal or judder when applying the brakes, which could signal worn pads or discs that have accumulated mileage wear. Check the suspension by noting any clunking noises over bumps, excessive bounce, or uneven tyre wear that might indicate deteriorated bushings or coil‑spring fatigue. Finally, confirm that all lights, indicators and the horn operate correctly, and look for any signs of corrosion around the wheel arches or under the chassis that could compromise structural integrity. Addressing these items will ensure the Mokka remains mechanically sound and road‑worthy for the next few years.
