2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · EY65 EXZ

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT test on 16 March 2026—just four months ago—confirmed full roadworthiness with no defects, marking the fourth consecutive pass in its history. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or advisories, and the absence of defects across all tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level without significant neglect. However, the single failure in March 2025 at 77,149 miles—just 80 miles before passing—was unusual, though no specific faults were recorded, leaving the cause speculative. The lack of advisories or repeated issues implies the vehicle has not suffered from progressive wear in critical areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, which are common failure points in this model. That said, the test cycle’s irregularity (a gap of five months between the 2025 failure and the next pass) warrants scrutiny of whether minor issues were overlooked or deferred. The recorded mileage of 83,447 miles over 11 years equates to an average of approximately 7,586 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity to suggest extreme wear or extended storage, though the gap between the 2023 test at 66,409 miles and the 2024 test at 70,637 miles—nearly seven months—could indicate a period of reduced usage. The most notable pattern is the consistent mileage accumulation without abrupt jumps, which generally aligns with steady, moderate driving conditions. However, the absence of detailed service records means potential wear on high-wear items like brake discs, exhaust systems, or suspension components cannot be confirmed without further inspection. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue in this model. The brakes, including disc thickness and caliper binding, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salted roads. Structural integrity—particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe—must be examined for corrosion, as Vauxhall Mokkas from this era are susceptible to rust-related failures. The exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, particularly at the rear, where water ingress can accelerate deterioration. While the MOT record suggests no immediate red flags, these areas are where silent degradation often occurs between tests.
