2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · LS15 AEP

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT test on 8 April 2026—just three months ago—confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This consistency across the last three annual tests (including a failed but subsequently retested April 2024) suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline standard, though the absence of advisories or recurring issues does not preclude hidden wear. The April 2024 failure, however, stands out as an anomaly: no defects were logged, which implies a minor oversight rather than a systemic problem. For a vehicle of this age and mileage, the lack of advisories on suspension, brakes, or emissions is notable, though it does not guarantee these components are free from accelerated wear. The recorded mileage progression—60,802 miles in April 2023 to 72,945 miles today—averages roughly 6,600 miles per year, a rate typical for a lightly used urban vehicle. There are no significant gaps in testing, and the April 2024 retest (just two days after failure) indicates prompt attention to any minor issues. The consistent annual mileage suggests the car has not been left unused for extended periods, which could have allowed corrosion or fluid degradation. However, the lack of mileage spikes or irregularities does not reveal whether maintenance was proactive or reactive. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—due to the Vauxhall Mokka’s known susceptibility to wear in this area. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or warped discs, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Corrosion is another critical factor; the underbody, wheel arches, and subframe should be examined for rust, particularly around the rear suspension mounts and exhaust system. The April 2024 retest hints at potential minor oversights, so verifying service records for fluid changes (brakes, power steering, differential) and timing belt condition—if applicable—would provide further reassurance.
