2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · EN16 TWM

The Vauxhall Mokka presents a clean bill of health at its most recent test on 19 November 2025, passing at 49,886 miles with no defects recorded. That result extends a sequence of three consecutive clean passes stretching back to November 2023, indicating a stable and improving maintenance trend after earlier tests exposed basic upkeep lapses. Mileage accumulation has been unusually low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year. The odometer barely moved between July 2019 and July 2022, climbing only 689 miles in three years, which suggests long periods off the road. A sharp increase appears between November 2023 and November 2024, where mileage jumped 5,160 miles, followed by a further 3,440 miles to the latest test, signalling a return to more regular use. The failure record points to neglected consumables rather than structural or mechanical decay. A 2019 failure on headlamp aim both sides was resolved at retest. The July 2022 test failed on ineffective front wipers and a rear tyre with badly cracked sidewalls on both walls, a classic sign of rubber degradation from prolonged standing. A washer pump fault caused a failure in June 2023 but passed two days later. No advisories or failures mention suspension bushes, brake binding, corrosion, or exhaust emissions throughout the history. A buyer should verify that the rear tyres have been replaced since the 2022 sidewall cracking, inspect all four tyres for age-related crazing, and confirm the washer system and wiper blades function correctly. Given the low historic mileage and periods of inactivity, a close examination of brake discs for surface corrosion, suspension rubber for perishing, and underbody for any latent corrosion is prudent before purchase.
