2019 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · DT19 DYV

This Vauxhall Mokka has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness record over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 2025-05-07 confirming no defects at 44,324 miles. The test cycle includes a rare double entry—both a pass and a fail on the same date—likely due to an administrative or scheduling anomaly rather than a mechanical issue, as no faults were recorded. The absence of advisories or recurring failures across five consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level without major neglect. However, the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means critical components like timing belts, suspension bushes, and brake fluid flushes remain unverified. The mileage progression reveals an unusual pattern, with a significant jump from 30,003 miles in May 2022 to 39,123 miles by May 2023—a 9,120-mile increase in just over a year, equating to roughly 12,000 miles annually. This suggests either intensive use or a period of underreporting. The subsequent intervals show more typical accumulation, averaging around 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s age. The most recent test, just over two years ago, means the current roadworthiness status is not confirmed beyond that date, leaving a gap where wear on high-mileage components could have developed. Given the lack of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to moisture or salted roads. The exhaust system warrants scrutiny for leaks or excessive rust, particularly around the mid-section and rear mounts, where corrosion often accelerates. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for structural rust, as this Vauxhall model is known to be susceptible in those areas. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound, so a thorough visual and functional assessment is essential.
