2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · FM66 TRV

The 2017 Vauxhall Mokka presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 at 78,497 miles. The vehicle has consistently met roadworthiness standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures. While the record shows two failed tests, both occurred on the same day as their respective passes—21 January 2026 and 19 February 2025—indicating minor, rectified issues rather than chronic defects. The absence of recorded advisories or failures across the documented history suggests a diligent approach to basic upkeep. Accumulating 78,497 miles over nine years equates to an annual average of roughly 8,722 miles, which sits comfortably within typical usage parameters for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression reveals steady, consistent driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the March 2024 test at 44,857 miles and the February 2025 test at 63,167 miles, the Mokka covered 18,310 miles in just under twelve months, demonstrating a period of heavier use. However, the subsequent drop to only 1,330 miles over the following eleven months—from February 2025 to January 2026—suggests a recent shift toward lighter, possibly urban commuting or a change in ownership circumstances. Given the sparse MOT data and the recent drop in annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to deterioration from intermittent use. Extended periods of standing can cause brake discs to surface corrode and tyres to develop flat spots, despite the recent clean test. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as urban driving and speed bumps common in lower-mileage commuting can accelerate wear on these underpinnings. A thorough assessment of the exhaust system for corrosion and a dynamic brake test to rule out any binding calipers will confirm whether the recent low mileage has introduced any latent issues not captured during the static MOT inspection.
