2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DP68 EOE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes recently. The most recent inspection on 16 July 2025 at 37,154 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a functional standard. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,644 miles per year. Data shows a steady but modest usage rate, with 5,064 miles covered between July 2022 and August 2023, and another 1,381 miles recorded in the following year. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, the failure on 1 August 2023 at 34,619 miles points to a specific mechanical or emission issue that required immediate rectification before the successful retest. Despite the clean records, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related degradation and dry-rot components. Low-mile vehicles often suffer from seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, and degraded tyres due to lack of use rather than mechanical wear. Particular attention should be paid to surface corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system, as the MOT only flags structural integrity once it reaches specific thresholds. Given the long intervals between tests, a physical check of the fluid levels and rubber seals is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked the need for preventative replacement.
