2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DP64 KXG

The latest MOT test for this 2015 Vauxhall Mokka was successful, with a pass recorded on 11 December 2024. While the history shows two instances of failure in 2024 and 2023, the lack of recorded defect details suggests these were likely minor items rectified immediately to secure a pass. The overall maintenance trend appears stable and consistent, as the vehicle has maintained a regular annual testing schedule, indicating that the owner is proactive regarding legal compliance and roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 89,624 miles is well-aligned with the vehicle's age, representing an average annual usage of approximately 8,148 miles. This level of usage is typical for a family crossover and suggests a balanced driving profile that avoids the extreme wear of high-mileage commercial use or the stagnation associated with very low-mileage vehicles. Mechanically, this suggests that while consumable items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes will be well into their service life, the primary drivetrain components should remain robust if the vehicle has been serviced according to manufacturer intervals. As the MOT history is currently devoid of recorded advisories, your physical inspection should focus on age-related wear and time-based degradation. Closely examine the tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur due to age regardless of tread depth. During the test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension, which may indicate worn coil springs or perished bushes, and check for any brake shudder or pulling to the side, which could suggest warped discs or binding calipers. Furthermore, you should verify the service book to ensure that fluid changes, specifically engine oil and brake fluid, have been conducted on a calendar basis to prevent chemical degradation. Check the 12V battery for signs of terminal corrosion and test its cranking strength, as older batteries can become unreliable. Finally, inspect the engine bay and the underside of the vehicle for any signs of weeping from gaskets or seals, as slow fluid leaks often do not trigger an MOT failure until they reach a significant level, but they represent impending maintenance requirements.
