2019 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · DP19 NTT

The current roadworthiness status of this Vauxhall Mokka is stable, though the most recent MOT test on 13 January 2026 highlights a notable decline in maintenance standards. While the vehicle passed the test, the initial failure on the same day reveals several critical issues, including structural tyre damage on the offside front and compromised suspension ball joint dust covers on both sides. This shift from a clean record in 2025 to multiple failures in early 2026 suggests that the previous owner neglected basic preventative maintenance and failed to address consumable wear before presenting the car for inspection. The vehicle has covered 65,588 miles over seven years, averaging approximately 9,370 miles annually. This usage pattern is consistent with typical private ownership. The MOT record shows a steady accumulation of mileage between June 2023 and January 2026, with the car covering roughly 7,900 miles during that nineteen-month window. The lack of advisories in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests indicates that the vehicle remained in good mechanical health for the majority of its life, making the sudden appearance of multiple faults in 2026 a point of concern regarding recent ownership habits. Prospective buyers must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension ball joints, as the integrity of the dust covers is essential to prevent premature joint failure and steering instability. You should also verify that the offside front tyre was replaced with a high-quality unit, as the previous failure indicated structural separation. Given the history of edge wear on the nearside rear tyre, check the rear suspension geometry and wheel alignment to ensure there is no underlying tracking issue. Finally, ensure the windscreen wiper system operates smoothly across the entire sweep, as its failure during the last test suggests the wiper blades were likely neglected for an extended period.
