2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · DV14 FNX

The most recent MOT on 2026‑01‑10 recorded a pass at 84,424 miles, confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness. A failure was logged just eight days earlier on 2026‑01‑02 at the same mileage, yet no defects were noted, suggesting the failure may have been administrative rather than mechanical. The earlier record shows two passes in 2024 and 2025 interspersed with two failures, but each entry again lists no defects, indicating a stable condition without accumulating faults. Mileage progression reveals a low‑use pattern for a twelve‑year‑old Mokka. Between 2024‑02‑26 (82,492 mi) and 2024‑03‑11 (82,497 mi) only five miles were added in fourteen days. The next increase to 83,404 mi by March 2025 and to 84,424 mi by January 2026 continues the modest rise of roughly three to four miles per day. This suggests the car has been stored or driven sparingly, which can preserve consumables but also raises the likelihood of corrosion and neglected maintenance. Even with a clean defect log, a buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs and brake assemblies for hidden wear. The unexplained failure on 2026‑01‑02 warrants a close look at the rear calipers, discs and pads for binding or corrosion. An under‑body scan for rust around wheel arches, the rear bulkhead and exhaust mounts is essential, as prolonged inactivity can promote structural degradation. Checking engine and transmission mounts for cracks or looseness will also reveal any fatigue that the MOT may have missed. Overall, the vehicle remains roadworthy with a recent pass and a mileage history that points to light use, which can be advantageous for mechanical components. However, the low mileage also implies possible storage‑related rust and the need for a thorough inspection of suspension, brakes and structural integrity before purchase. If those systems show no significant wear, the MOT record supports a reliable acquisition.
