2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · HV66 FWH

A clean and reassuring DVSA history defines this 2016 Vauxhall Mokka, with the most recent assessment on 23 February 2026 returning a pass alongside a contemporaneous failure entry that both recorded no defects, suggesting the failure was administrative in nature or remedied immediately on the same day. The pattern over the recorded test cycle consistently shows clean passes, with only one prior failure noted on 17 February 2025 again carrying no recorded defects. Across three full years of testing the vehicle has produced no advisories, no component wear flags, and no structural corrosion concerns, indicating sustained mechanical integrity through its tenth year of service. Mileage accumulation across the decade stands at 104,742 miles, translating to an annual average of roughly 10,474 miles per year, which sits comfortably within the expected band for a family crossover of this age. The consistency of testing each February from 2024 through 2026 implies regular, uninterrupted road use rather than extended periods off the road, allowing consumables and mechanical systems to remain in normal working condition. There are no multi-year testing gaps or sudden mileage jumps recorded, which removes any concern about extended standing time that could otherwise compromise brake callipers, suspension linkages, drivetrain seals, or underfloor corrosion. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded advisories means there are no specific components flagged for closer inspection, but a thorough roadworthiness check should still focus on areas commonly susceptible on a Mokka of this mileage. On a test drive, listen for clonks or knocking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly from the lower control arm bushes and anti-roll bar drop links, which are known wear items on this platform. Check for any pulling under braking, which could suggest binding front calipers or warped front brake discs, and feel for vibration through the steering wheel that might indicate front disc lipping. Inspect the underside for any surface corrosion on subframe and suspension components, and verify even tyre wear across both axles, as uneven patterns often point to worn suspension bushes or tracking irregularities. Additional checks should include a cold start inspection for any blue or excessive grey exhaust smoke that might indicate valve stem seal or turbo wear, and a thorough scan for any oil leaks from the cam cover gasket or oil filter housing, both typical on higher-mileage Mokka engines. Verify that all electrical systems operate correctly, including the infotainment unit and climate control, and ensure the air conditioning produces cold output, as compressor replacement is a common cost on this model. A service history confirmation covering cambelt replacement and regular oil changes would provide further reassurance, though the MOT record alone presents a vehicle that has upheld its roadworthy standard reliably throughout its life.
