2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · FJ17 WPK

The Vauxhall Mokka presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 66,872 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle passing its last examination cleanly after two earlier failed attempts in 2024 and 2025 that also carried no recorded defects. This pattern points to administrative or presentation issues at retest rather than escalating mechanical decay. Recorded mileage sits at 66,872 against a 2017 build, averaging roughly 7,430 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The DVSA log shows steady annual use: 57,589 miles on 14 June 2023, 62,411 at the June 2024 failure, 62,587 at the June 2024 pass, and 66,871 at the June 2025 failure before the clean pass days later. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the odometer advanced about 4,300 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. The sparse, defect-free record gives little to challenge on wear grounds. Both failures on 11 June 2024 and 12 June 2025 list no defects, which suggests the vehicle was presented without a valid prior certificate or with paperwork discrepancies rather than broken suspension bushes or worn brake discs. A buyer should still confirm the V5C and prior MOT certificates match the DVSA timeline, since two consecutive fails with zero advisories are unusual. In person, check structural integrity underneath for corrosion, inspect coil springs and suspension arms for fatigue despite no advisories, and verify tyre tread and exhaust emissions match a clean nine-year-old car. The lack of flagged consumable wear implies basic upkeep was not skipped, but a physical inspection remains sensible given the odd fail-pass sequencing.
