2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · GX68 AOT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-24 at 49,579 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the prior test on 2025-12-23 at the same mileage recorded a failure without specific defects noted. This abrupt transition from failure to pass within 24 hours raises questions about the accuracy of the records or potential remedial action. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test suggests no immediate roadworthiness concerns, but the lack of detailed fault reporting limits confidence in the assessment. The maintenance trend remains unclear due to the sparse and conflicting data. The vehicle’s mileage of 49,579 miles at 8 years old aligns with an average annual usage of 6,197 miles, indicating typical wear for its age. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation in mileage are evident, though the absence of MOT records prior to 2025-12-23 leaves a gap in understanding long-term maintenance patterns. The two tests in December 2025, both at identical mileage, suggest either a data entry anomaly or a retest following a failure, neither of which is clarified in the records. This lack of historical context complicates assessing the vehicle’s mechanical reliability. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age, and inspect brake systems for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. The failure record, though unspecified, may hint at issues requiring attention, such as binding calipers or brake disc warping. Structural integrity should also be checked for rust or damage, as these can develop over time without visible indicators. The MOT history’s brevity underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness beyond the recorded data.
