2017 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · MF67 FDD

The latest MOT test conducted on 10 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Evaluating the overall maintenance trend from 2022 to 2025, the vehicle demonstrates a highly stable history. Although a failure was recorded on 6 September 2024, the vehicle passed later that same day, suggesting that the issue was minor and rectified immediately. The absence of any subsequent advisories or recurring mechanical failures over the recorded period indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard of roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 50,658 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 5,629 miles, which is significantly lower than the typical usage for a 2017 Vauxhall Mokka. While this low mileage implies reduced wear on the engine, transmission, and major drivetrain components, it also suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary. For a vehicle of this age, such a usage profile means that while mechanical friction wear is low, the vehicle is more susceptible to time-based degradation of rubber components and fluids. Given the clean MOT record and low mileage, your inspection should focus on age-related deterioration rather than heavy wear. Inspect the tyres thoroughly for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as rubber can harden and lose grip over time even if the tread remains deep. Check the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting, which can occur if the vehicle has been stationary for long periods. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension, as suspension bushes and coil springs can perish and become brittle with age, potentially affecting handling. It is also essential to confirm that time-based maintenance has been performed, as fluids like brake fluid and engine oil must be changed according to the calendar to prevent chemical degradation. Check the 12V battery health, as infrequent driving can lead to insufficient charging and reduced battery life. Finally, ensure there are no signs of binding calipers or uneven braking, which can result from components sitting idle. Verifying the service book for regular stamps will be vital to ensure the vehicle has received the necessary preventative maintenance despite its low usage levels.
