2018 Vauxhall Mokka X Elite Ecotec S/S 1.4L Petrol · NRZ 5191

The 2026-06-18 verdict is that the vehicle is roadworthy, but the MOT record indicates a concerning maintenance trend. The most recent test in October 2025 was passed at 60,141 miles, but the previous test on October 1, 2025, resulted in a failure at 59,984 miles, with no recorded defects. This gap of 157 miles between the two most recent tests suggests that the car may have been driven on a regular basis during the intervening period, potentially leading to accelerated wear on critical components. The failure in the second-to-last test on August 16, 2022, at 40,123 miles, confirms that the vehicle has not been maintained in a way that has restored its mechanical integrity over the last several years. The mileage pattern reveals that the vehicle has accumulated approximately 7,500 miles annually, which is consistent with an 8-year-old vehicle. However, the lack of a successful MOT in the last three years (2022, 2023, and 2025) indicates a lack of preventative maintenance, likely due to poor habits or a lack of access to the car. The vehicle has not undergone a full MOT in the past three years, which is a significant gap that warrants immediate attention. The failure in 2025 at 59,984 miles with no defects suggests that the car may still be in a state of disrepair if the owner continues to operate it without regular servicing. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical risks, specifically the suspension and braking systems. The MOT record shows that the brakes have been tested twice in the last three years, with the most recent test in October 2025 passing at 60,141 miles. However, the previous test in August 2022 failed at 40,123 miles, implying that the brake pads or rotors may have become worn or contaminated. The absence of a MOT in the last three years suggests that the vehicle has not been serviced at the recommended intervals, which could lead to premature failure of the suspension bushings, coil springs, or brake discs. The buyer should check for corrosion on the exhaust system and structural integrity of the chassis, as these components are frequently the first to fail in vehicles with such a history.
