2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DP14 ACV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-07-01 at 102,771 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this test is over two years old. Earlier in 2024, two failures at the same mileage (102,729 and 102,771 miles) also showed no defects, suggesting potential administrative errors or repeated retests without resolved issues. The 2023 and 2022 tests at 96,228 and 88,791 miles respectively were passes with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record prior to 2024. However, the lack of recent testing and repeated identical mileage entries raise questions about the vehicle’s ongoing compliance and the reliability of the MOT history. The vehicle’s mileage of 102,771 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 8,564 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage. A gap between the 2022 test (88,791 miles) and 2023 test (96,228 miles) suggests a 7,437-mile increase over approximately 7 months, followed by a 6,543-mile rise between 2023 and 2024. These figures imply intermittent use, which could contribute to component degradation, such as suspension bushings or brake calipers, if the vehicle was parked for extended periods. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in MOT records does not confirm their absence, as such defects may not always be detected during inspections. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as inconsistent mileage may have led to uneven wear. The brakes, particularly the rear calipers, warrant scrutiny for binding, which could cause uneven disc wear. Additionally, the exhaust system and emissions components should be checked, as prolonged inactivity might lead to carbon buildup or leaks. The vehicle’s MOT history lacks specific mechanical advisories, but the repeated tests at identical mileages and the age of the latest record necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to verify its current roadworthiness.
