2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · FG65 KFW

The 2015 Vauxhall Mokka presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 16 July 2025 with 139,490 miles on the clock. No defects were recorded during this latest assessment, nor in the three preceding annual tests. The vehicle demonstrates a consistent pattern of passing its roadworthiness inspections without any flagged advisories or failures since a failed test on 6 July 2022 at 112,851 miles, which notably recorded no defects. This indicates a reliable mechanical baseline and a recent history of proper upkeep by the current keeper. The mileage accumulation aligns with a high-usage profile, averaging roughly 12,681 miles per year over its eleven-year lifespan. Between the 2024 test at 130,213 miles and the 2025 test at 139,490 miles, the Mokka covered 9,277 miles in twelve months. Prior to this, the annual distances were lower, with 10,755 miles covered between June 2023 and July 2022. The rapid recent accumulation suggests sustained daily driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which typically accelerates the wear of consumable components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and drivetrain mounts. Despite the flawless MOT record, the absence of recorded defects does not negate the natural degradation associated with nearly 140,000 miles. A pre-purchase inspection should focus heavily on structural integrity and suspension wear. Check the subframes, sills, and floor pans for corrosion, a common affliction on higher-mileage crossovers. Examine the coil springs and shock absorbers for signs of weeping or reduced damping, while inspecting the front and rear suspension bushes for perishing or cracking. Given the high mileage, verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, ensuring the calipers operate without binding, and scrutinise the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion that could affect emissions compliance.
