2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · FH64 OUV

This 2015 Vauxhall Mokka presents a notably clean roadworthiness profile, having recorded five consecutive MOT passes with no advisories or defects logged on the official DVSA record. The most recent test on 6 August 2025 confirms a continued pass with no defects recorded, and the pattern is mirrored throughout the preceding years dating back to January 2022. The absence of any advisories across multiple consecutive tests suggests that the wear-related components typically monitored at MOT stage, including suspension components, braking hardware, exhaust integrity, and structural condition, have not reached thresholds warranting examiner comment. For a vehicle of this age, that level of cleanliness on the record is a positive indicator, though it is worth noting that a clean MOT history does not eliminate the possibility of items deteriorating between annual tests or issues that fall below the MOT pass/fail threshold at the time of examination. With 61,942 miles accumulated over roughly eleven years, the vehicle is running at approximately 5,631 miles per year, which is well below the typical annual mileage for a car of its age and class. This low accumulation could reflect genuine light use, such as mostly short urban journeys or restricted driver use, or alternatively extended periods where the vehicle has been standing. There is a noticeable gap between the January 2022 test and the December 2023 test, and another gap between December 2023 and March 2025, suggesting the vehicle may have either been exempt from MOT requirement for a period or was not presented for testing during those intervals. Mechanically, low annual mileage of this nature tends to preserve major drivetrain components such as the engine, transmission, and clutch, but it can accelerate deterioration of certain items that suffer from underuse, including brake discs corroding on the surface, tyre sidewalls developing flat spots or perishing, and rubber seals hardening through lack of flexing. Given the clean advisory record, a prospective buyer should focus their pre-purchase inspection on the areas most prone to age-related wear on the Mokka platform, even though no MOT examiner has flagged them to date. Pay close attention to the front and rear suspension bushes, anti-roll bar drop links, and coil springs for any signs of cracking, perishing, or sagging, as these commonly deteriorate on Mokka models approaching the end of their first decade. On a test drive, listen for clonks or knocks emanating from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, and feel for any vagueness or knocking through the steering which could indicate worn tie bar or wishbone bushes. Check the brake pedal feel for excessive travel or sponginess, and on a downhill deceleration listen for any scraping or grinding that might indicate corroded or worn discs, particularly if the vehicle has seen periods of standing. Inspect the underside of the vehicle for any surface corrosion on subframe components, brake pipes, and the exhaust system, as eleven years of road exposure can produce rust issues that fall just below the MOT failure threshold but could be flagged in a subsequent test. Examine the engine bay for any signs of oil misting around the cam cover or valve cover gasket, a known weak point on this engine family, and check the coolant and oil levels for any evidence of recent top-ups which might indicate leaks. Verify that the air conditioning system blows cold, as compressor and condenser repairs on this model can be costly if neglected. Finally, confirm that all warning lamps extinguish promptly after engine start, and ensure that the timing belt or chain service interval has been confirmed in the service history, as replacement intervals on the Mokka's petrol and diesel engines are critical and overdue timing components can lead to catastrophic engine damage.
