2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · GU18 EWK

The overall roadworthiness of the 2018 VAUXHALL MOKKA is assessed as reduced , with a clear deteriorating trend over the last three years. The vehicle's performance has fallen significantly since the September 2023 MOT, which was passed at 45,378 miles, indicating that the mechanical systems are no longer functioning as intended. This drop in performance is not a single incident but a progressive degradation, with the most recent failure occurring in November 2024 at 58,152 miles. The test at 58,179 miles in November 2025 was passed, showing that the car has not yet reached the point of total failure, but the gap between the 45,378-mile pass and the 58,179-mile pass is substantial, suggesting that the vehicle has not undergone adequate preventative maintenance since the September 2023 test. The mileage pattern reveals a distinct gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests. The vehicle was passed in November 2023 at 45,378 miles, but failed again in November 2024 at 58,152 miles. This gap of 12,774 miles between two consecutive MOTs is critical; it demonstrates that the vehicle has not maintained the required 6,000-mile interval between checks. Such a delay allows wear on critical components to accumulate without replacement, and it confirms that the vehicle has no current maintenance history. The rapid mileage increase since the September 2023 test suggests that the owner has likely skipped routine servicing, leading to accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension. Given the history, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural and mechanical risks that have not been addressed. The most frequent issues flagged in the MOT record include binding rear brakes, worn tyres, and a failing windscreen washer. These faults indicate that the vehicle has not been serviced for at least 6,000 miles since the September 2023 test, a standard requirement for most vehicles. The binding brakes and worn tyres are serious structural risks that could lead to a complete loss of control if not corrected immediately. The windscreen washer failure is a consumable wear item that requires immediate attention to prevent water ingress and corrosion. The vehicle is in a state of poor condition and requires urgent professional diagnosis of these specific faults to ensure continued safe operation.
