2013 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · FD62 RYC

A clean and consistent MOT record positions this thirteen year old Vauxhall Mokka as a vehicle with a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 30 January 2026 passing without any advisories and matching the four prior pass certificates dating back to early 2023. The single failure logged on 1 February 2025 is notable only because it was followed immediately by a pass the very next day with no defects recorded, suggesting a minor rectification rather than any underlying mechanical concern. Across five tests there are no advisories relating to corrosion, suspension wear, braking component condition, exhaust integrity, or structural issues, which for a Mokka of this vintage represents an encouraging outcome given the model’s known susceptibility to rear axle corrosion and underbody component wear. Annual mileage of roughly six thousand four hundred miles is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age, and the smooth progression between tests indicates the car has been in regular use rather than left standing for extended periods. There are no unusual gaps in the testing record and no sudden mileage jumps that might suggest inconsistent use or clock irregularities. This consistent level of activity is mechanically beneficial, as it helps keep seals, bushes, and drivetrain components lubricated and functioning, while also confirming the engine and ancillary systems have been routinely exercised. The cumulative eighty three thousand miles sits comfortably within the expected working life of the major mechanical units, provided routine servicing has been maintained. For a prospective buyer, the absence of any flagged advisories does not eliminate the need for a thorough physical inspection, as MOT testing only covers safety and emission critical items at the time of test. Particular attention should be paid to the rear suspension assembly, trailing arms, and underbody corrosion, which are recognised weak points on the Mokka platform and would warrant close examination with the vehicle raised on a ramp. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clonking from the rear over uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or perished mounting components not yet severe enough to fail an MOT. The braking system should also be evaluated for pedal feel and stopping response, as the lack of brake related advisories on the record does not preclude uneven disc wear or binding calipers that develop between tests. Check for any pulling to one side under braking or a soft or spongy pedal, both of which would point to underlying hydraulic or mechanical issues. Additionally, inspect the engine bay for any signs of oil misting or residue around the rocker cover, timing cover, and turbocharger, listen for any irregular timing chain rattle on cold start, and verify that the six speed automatic or manual transmission, depending on fitment, selects cleanly without shudder or hesitation under load.
