2018 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · LS18 WAJ

The vehicle demonstrates a highly stable and consistent maintenance trend based on the available DVSA MOT history. The most recent inspection on 15 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, following a failed attempt on the same day which typically indicates a minor rectification was required to meet the pass criteria. The continuous sequence of annual passes from 2022 through 2025 without any noted advisories suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained and has not suffered from significant structural or mechanical deterioration in its primary wear components. The recorded mileage of 61,877 miles over an eight-year period equates to an annual average of approximately 7,735 miles. This is considered typical, moderate usage for a vehicle of this class, avoiding the heavy wear associated with high-mileage commercial use while also avoiding the potential issues caused by long periods of standing. This usage profile implies that while major drivetrain components should be in good health, the vehicle is entering a phase where consumables such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and braking components will require closer scrutiny due to age and cumulative wear. As the MOT record is exceptionally clean and lacks any formal advisories, a prospective buyer should focus on age-related degradation that may not yet be visible to a standard MOT inspector. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur due to the age of the rubber even if the tread depth is ample. During the test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension, which could indicate worn bushes or dampers, and check for any brake shudder or pulling to the side, which might suggest warped discs or binding calipers. It is also vital to verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance has been performed alongside mileage-based servicing. This includes checking the age of the coolant, brake fluid, and engine oil, as well as confirming if the cambelt or timing chain has been addressed according to the manufacturer's intervals. Additionally, inspect the 12V battery for signs of weakness and check the underside of the engine bay for any evidence of minor fluid weeping or corrosion on exhaust components, ensuring that the vehicle's overall mechanical integrity matches its clean regulatory record.
