2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · DS64 VDD

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-13 at 47,377 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories, confirming current roadworthiness. The preceding cycle is notable for a single failed test on 2024-05-21—though unusually, this was at the same mileage as the subsequent pass on 2024-05-23, suggesting either a retest or a minor oversight in the original inspection. Beyond that, the record shows a stable pattern of annual testing without recurring faults, implying no evident deterioration in critical systems. The absence of advisories across all tests further suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent issues requiring owner attention. The mileage progression of approximately 3,900 miles per year—consistent over the past four years—indicates light usage, which typically correlates with reduced wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (4,226 miles in a year) is slightly higher but remains within reasonable limits for a low-mileage vehicle. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged periods of neglect, though the low annual mileage could also imply extended periods of non-use, potentially accelerating corrosion risks in underbody and wheel arch areas. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity, particularly the condition of rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which may degrade even at low mileages over twelve years. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has stood for extended periods. Underbody corrosion—common in this age bracket—must be checked thoroughly, particularly around the sills, subframe, and exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity. Finally, the exhaust emissions system should be verified for leaks or catalytic converter efficiency, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but can fail without warning.
