2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · DX65 WDR

The 2015 Vauxhall Mokka presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 23 December 2025 at 81,616 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean result followed a same-day retest after a failed attempt for a non-functioning nearside rear position lamp, a minor electrical fault that was promptly rectified. The trajectory from 2022 through 2025 shows a vehicle that has moved from recurring tyre wear advisories toward a fully compliant state, suggesting the most recent keeper addressed basic upkeep items before the December 2025 test. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Between the December 2022 test at 67,913 miles and the December 2024 test at 76,828 miles, the Mokka covered 8,915 miles over two years, or roughly 4,458 miles annually. The following year saw a slightly higher accumulation of 4,788 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the record. The overall average of approximately 7,420 miles per year sits squarely within typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age and class. The recurring theme across the MOT history is tyre wear, specifically worn edges and tread approaching the legal minimum. Advisories appeared at the December 2023 test for the nearside front tyre and at the December 2024 test for a rear tyre, both flagged under the same defect code for edge wear. This pattern points to potential alignment or suspension geometry issues, most commonly worn tracking or uneven camber settings causing inner-edge scrub. A prospective buyer should inspect the inner sidewalls of all four tyres closely and request a four-wheel alignment check before purchase. The suspension bushes, ball joints, and front strut top mounts deserve attention on a vehicle approaching 82,000 miles, as these components typically degrade on the Mokka platform around this mileage and can directly contribute to the uneven wear pattern observed in the record. Beyond tyres, the clean December 2025 result provides reasonable confidence in the braking system, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity at the time of testing. A physical underbody inspection for corrosion is still advisable, particularly around the rear subframe, sills, and brake pipe runs, as these are known weak points on the Mokka that MOT records only capture when deterioration becomes severe. The single electrical fault, a rear position lamp failure, was minor and resolved within the same test session, carrying no implication for the broader wiring or charging system. Overall, the record reflects a vehicle that has been maintained to a basic but adequate standard, with tyre wear being the only persistent concern worth investigating further.
