2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · LO17 YMH

The Vauxhall Mokka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 15 August 2025 at 38,113 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Annual examinations from July 2021 through August 2025 consistently yielded passes without advisories, indicating the previous keeper addressed any required work before each test and the vehicle exhibits no worsening mechanical condition. This unbroken sequence of clear results signals a well-maintained example for its nine-year lifespan. Mileage accumulation reflects light use relative to the 2017 build date. The record shows 25,691 miles at the 29 July 2021 test, rising to 30,049 by 18 August 2022, 32,977 by 17 August 2023, 35,576 by 16 August 2024, and 38,113 by 15 August 2025. That equates to roughly 3,400 to 4,500 miles added each year, averaging 4,235 annually against the norm for a vehicle of this age. No abrupt gaps or rapid accumulation appear; the punctual history suggests a low-demand secondary car, possibly parked for extended periods between short journeys. Despite the absence of recorded faults, a buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of components prone to degradation under low-mileage standing. DVSA testers flagged no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or binding calipers across these tests, yet prolonged inactivity can conceal surface rust on structural members and stiffen flexible brake hoses. The Mokka's age invites scrutiny of exhaust emissions system integrity and underbody protective coatings that annual visual checks may overlook. Previous owners clearly prioritised statutory compliance, as each test passed without defect. However, low throughput means consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades may have aged beyond safe elasticity rather than worn by tread loss. We recommend a physical check of sidewall perishing, brake disc lip formation, and suspension joint play before purchase, using the clean MOT ledger as a baseline rather than a guarantee of component life.
