2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · GY17 YFE

The Vauxhall Mokka has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past three years, with all recent MOT tests—including the most recent on 30 March 2026 at 62,496 miles —passing without any defects. The only anomaly in the history is a failed test on 31 March 2023 at 37,429 miles , though no specific defects were recorded in the provided data, suggesting either a clerical error or an issue resolved before retesting. This clean trend indicates the vehicle has been well-maintained in terms of core mechanical and safety systems, with no recurring advisories or major failures to suggest deteriorating condition. The mileage progression is steady and typical for its age, averaging around 6,944 miles per year over the past nine years. The recorded mileages— 37,429 (2023), 44,521 (2024), 51,937 (2025), and 62,496 (2026) —show a consistent annual accumulation without sudden spikes or prolonged inactivity. This suggests the car has been used regularly but not excessively, reducing wear on high-stress components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain. The lack of rapid mileage jumps also implies no history of aggressive driving or neglect, which often accelerates component failure. Given the absence of defects in recent tests, a buyer should still verify a few key areas in person. Braking performance should be checked, particularly for uneven wear or binding calipers, as past MOTs provide no record of brake-related advisories but do not confirm their current condition. Suspension components , including coil springs, bushings, and dampers, should be inspected for wear or leaks, especially if the car has been driven on uneven roads. Structural integrity —particularly around wheel arches, sills, and underbody—should be examined for corrosion, as the MOT history offers no evidence of rust-related failures but does not preclude hidden deterioration. Finally, exhaust emissions and lighting systems should be tested, as these are common areas where minor faults can slip through without being recorded in a clean MOT history. While the MOT record is reassuring, the lack of advisories does not guarantee the absence of minor wear. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would be prudent to confirm the condition of consumables like tyres, wiper blades, and fluids, as well as any potential hidden issues in systems not covered by the MOT. The vehicle’s history suggests reliability, but due diligence remains essential.
