2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · NJ16 DCF

This Vauxhall Mokka has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with every test since 2022 passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 14 February 2026, at 80,230 miles, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues, and the absence of advisories suggests no hidden or deferred problems were identified by the tester. While this pattern indicates responsible maintenance—or at least no overt neglect—the buyer should verify whether the vehicle has undergone any non-MOT-related servicing, particularly for wear items like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, which are not routinely checked during the test. The mileage progression of approximately 8,000 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The intervals between tests—consistently around 12 months—suggest the vehicle has been driven regularly without extended storage, which could otherwise accelerate wear on fluids, seals, or rubber components. The recorded mileage at the latest test (80,230) reflects steady usage, though the buyer should cross-check this with service records to confirm whether maintenance intervals were adhered to, especially for items like timing belts or differential fluid changes. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear components that are not routinely tested. The suspension—particularly rear suspension bushes and coil springs—should be examined for cracking, perishing, or excessive play, as these are common failure points at this mileage. Brake discs and calipers, while not flagged in tests, may exhibit uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or in stop-start conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be scrutinised for corrosion, as front-wheel-drive models of this era are prone to rust-related issues. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or sagging, as catalytic converter failures or failing mounts can occur without triggering an MOT advisory.
