2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · LM67 SSV

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-17 resulted in a pass , though this followed an identical test date with a fail —an anomaly that suggests either a last-minute rectification or a rare administrative duplication. The preceding annual tests from 2024-11-08 and 2023-11-10 both passed without recorded defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three years. However, the double entry in 2023 —a failed test followed by a pass on the same date—implies either a rushed correction or an oversight in the system. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the record, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, as even minor issues like worn suspension bushes or brake pads typically surface by now. The recorded mileage of 79,846 miles over eight years equates to approximately 9,981 miles annually , a rate consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for this class of vehicle. There are no obvious gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, though the lack of intermediate servicing records means we cannot confirm whether maintenance was performed between MOTs. The consistent annual testing schedule suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left stationary, which would have accelerated wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and fluids. Without service history, potential hidden issues—such as degraded differential fluid or worn timing components—cannot be ruled out, but the mileage itself does not indicate extreme neglect. Given the absence of advisories or recurring faults in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear bushes and coil springs , as these are common failure points in this model by 79,000 miles. The braking system —especially rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the lack of advisories does not preclude gradual deterioration. Exhaust emissions should also be verified, as older Vauxhall models can develop leaks or catalytic converter issues over time. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, warrants close examination, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediately failing an MOT. Finally, fluid levels and condition —brakes, power steering, and engine oil—should be inspected, as these are not routinely tested in MOTs but directly impact long-term reliability. The clean MOT record is a positive sign, but physical inspection is essential to confirm no deferred maintenance has been overlooked.
