2021 Vauxhall Mokka SRI NAV Premium Turbo 1.2L Petrol · HT71 FYX

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-01 resulted in a pass, though the record shows an unusual double entry for that date—one marked as failed and another as passed, both with no defects noted. This inconsistency suggests either a clerical error in the DVSA system or a rare case of a vehicle being tested twice on the same day without mechanical issues. Given the lack of defects in the last two tests (2024-12-13 and 2025-12-01), there is no evidence of a worsening trend in mechanical condition. However, the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear, particularly in high-stress components like suspension bushes or brake calipers, which are not always captured in a standard MOT. The recorded mileage of 48,292 miles over approximately five years equates to around 9,658 miles per annum, which is within the typical range for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in mileage or abrupt jumps between tests, indicating consistent use rather than prolonged neglect or excessive wear. The most recent test occurred just eight months ago, which is well within the MOT’s one-year validity period, though the double-entry anomaly warrants verification with the seller regarding the vehicle’s actual history. Given the lack of defects in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items not always flagged in a basic test. The brakes, including caliper binding and disc thickness, should also be checked, as repeated failures on such systems—though none are recorded here—can indicate underlying issues. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be examined for corrosion, as turbocharged models like this are prone to accelerated rust development. Finally, the turbocharger and associated intake/exhaust systems should be inspected for soot buildup or leaks, as turbo failure is a known risk in high-mileage turbocharged cars.
