2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · OW16 AEB

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT test on 3 December 2025—just 7 months ago—confirmed full roadworthiness with no defects recorded at 83,031 miles. This marks a consistent pattern of clean passes across all available tests since 2022, with no advisories or recurring faults. The absence of any failures or warnings suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the record does not reveal whether routine services (e.g., oil changes, timing belt inspections) were performed. The most recent test’s proximity to today’s date (26 July 2026) means the vehicle has not yet reached its next mandatory MOT, but the lack of historical issues does not preclude hidden wear in high-stress components like suspension bushes or brake calipers. The mileage progression shows steady accumulation, averaging around 8,300 miles annually—a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes; the 8,246 miles between the 2023 and 2022 tests (67,424 to 51,010) aligns with the broader trend, and the 9,246 miles between the 2024 and 2023 tests (74,785 to 67,424) does not suggest prolonged inactivity or aggressive driving. While this pattern indicates consistent use rather than neglect, it also implies that consumable items like tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades may have been deferred between services. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—due to their typical wear rate at this mileage. The brakes, though never failed, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, as these often develop gradually without MOT detection. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is also worth examining, as it frequently goes unnoticed until it compromises structural integrity. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system, especially near the catalytic converter, as emissions-related failures are not always captured in MOT records.
