2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DN68 YAO

The most recent MOT test conducted on 13 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the historical data from 2021 onwards, the vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend, having passed every inspection without a single recorded failure or advisory. This lack of documented issues suggests that the previous owner has likely adhered to a consistent maintenance regime, ensuring that critical systems such as lighting, braking, and exhaust emissions have remained within legal tolerances throughout its service life. With a recorded mileage of 62,266 miles over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,783 miles per annum. This level of usage is considered typical for a modern crossover and avoids the extremes of either excessive high-mileage wear or the potential complications associated with very low-mileage vehicles that sit idle for long periods. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, suggesting a predictable wear profile for major components such as the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system, which reduces the likelihood of sudden, catastrophic component failure. As the MOT history is entirely clean, your inspection should focus on age-related degradation that may not yet have triggered a failure. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur due to rubber age regardless of tread depth. You should also inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or pitting, particularly if the vehicle has been used for short urban journeys, as this can lead to binding calipers or uneven braking performance. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension, which could indicate worn bushes or failing dampers that are nearing the end of their serviceable life. Finally, ensure that the vehicle's service history is documented and matches the mileage progression. Since MOT tests are periodic and do not cover all mechanical aspects, you must verify that time-sensitive maintenance, such as brake fluid flushes and coolant changes, has been performed according to the manufacturer's intervals. Check the condition of the 12V battery and look for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or transmission that may not have been caught during the last inspection. Verifying the service book stamps will be essential to confirm that the mechanical health of the Mokka aligns with its clean MOT record.
