The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 23 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a recurring MOT failure pattern. While the most recent test passed without defects, the history of failing consecutive tests suggests intermittent issues that require investigation before purchase.
When inspecting this specific Mokka, your priority should be understanding the exact causes of the 2024 and 2025 MOT failures. Although the provided data shows 'no defects recorded' on the failure entries, you must ask the seller for the specific advisory notes from those dates to determine if the issues were simple items like bulbs or complex mechanical failures. Check the service history specifically for the 1.4L engine, as these units require consistent oil changes to avoid issues. Given the mileage is over 80,000 miles, verify if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are significant scheduled maintenance items.
The 1364cc petrol engine typically sits in a mid-range insurance group and offers reasonable fuel economy for a small crossover. Tax for this 2015 model varies based on the specific emissions rating but generally falls within a standard bracket for petrol SUVs.
Annual costs are estimated between £1,100 and £1,500, accounting for fuel based on average UK mileage, insurance, and standard wear-and-tear maintenance for a vehicle of this age.
Focus your inspection on the underside and suspension components, as these are common areas for MOT failures in the Mokka. Look for signs of oil leaks around the engine block, which can occur if the turbocharger or gaskets are starting to fail.
Since the vehicle failed its MOT in 2024 and 2025, pay close attention to the tyres for uneven wear and the brake system, as these are frequent reasons for test failures. Test the clutch engagement if it is a manual, as this is a known wear point for cars at this mileage.
This 2015 Vauxhall Mokka features a 1.4L petrol engine and sits at approximately 80,989 miles, which is consistent with its age. While the September 2025 MOT was passed with no defects, the vehicle has failed its two previous annual MOT tests. The silver paintwork is common for this model, but the maintenance history indicates a need for closer attention to compliance standards.
Aggregate MOT data is currently unavailable for this specific model variant, but the 1.4L turbo petrol engine is known to require diligent maintenance schedules.
