2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · NK66 XSL

The Vauxhall Mokka presents a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across its five most recent tests, culminating in a passed inspection just eight months ago at 60,402 miles. This consistency suggests a stable maintenance regime, with no signs of recurring mechanical issues or structural degradation. The absence of advisories or minor faults in the latest test—conducted in November 2025—indicates that routine wear items such as tyres, brakes, and suspension components were likely addressed promptly. While the brief failure in October 2024 at 53,527 miles is unexplained in the record, its immediate retest at 53,529 miles passing without comment implies a minor, easily rectified issue rather than a systemic problem. The vehicle’s mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical expectations for its age, averaging around 6,040 miles per year over the past decade. The most recent 7,273-mile interval between October 2024 and November 2025 suggests regular but not excessive use, while the 5,429-mile gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests may reflect seasonal or owner-related variations. There are no red flags in the spacing—no sudden spikes that would imply neglect or aggressive driving, nor prolonged inactivity that could exacerbate corrosion or fluid degradation. The data is sparse but unremarkable, offering no cause for concern beyond standard wear expectations. Given the lack of defects in the MOT history, a prospective buyer should still verify key areas in person. Focus on the suspension—particularly the condition of control arm bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links—since these are high-wear components that may not always trigger advisories until advanced. Inspect the brake system thoroughly, including caliper operation, disc thickness, and pad wear, as binding or uneven braking can develop without prior MOT flags. Structural integrity is less of a concern given the clean record, but check for surface rust around wheel arches, sills, and underseal, especially if the vehicle has spent time in damp or salty conditions. Finally, confirm fluid levels—brake, coolant, and power steering—as these are not part of the MOT test but critical to long-term reliability.
