2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DP66 BZK

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, following a stable maintenance trend after resolving minor failures. The most recent test on 6 December 2025 at 18,969 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows intermittent failures regarding consumables, the vehicle has consistently met the minimum standards in its last two annual inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage over short intervals, with 1,892 miles covered between the November 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 1,748 miles thereafter. This low-frequency usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it also increases the risk of flat-spotting, perished rubber seals, or brake corrosion if the car sat stationary for extended periods between tests. A physical inspection should focus on the areas that previously failed to ensure quality of repairs. The November 2024 failure due to both front tyres having tread below the legal 1.6mm limit suggests the previous owner neglected basic maintenance until the MOT test prompted action; a buyer should verify the remaining tread on all other tyres and check for sidew cracking due to age. Similarly, the 2023 failure regarding ineffective windscreen wipers necessitates a check of the wiper arm tension and blade condition to ensure visibility is not compromised. Given the low mileage, the buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for pitting or rust, which often occurs on vehicles that are not driven frequently. Check the chassis for early signs of structural corrosion, as low mileage does not protect a vehicle from environmental degradation over a decade. The record shows no history of serious mechanical decline, but the reactive nature of the previous repairs indicates the vehicle was only addressed when legally required.
