2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · RH65 GDH

The Vauxhall Mokka’s MOT history demonstrates consistent compliance over the past five annual tests, with the most recent inspection on 28 January 2026 confirming no defects at 38,526 miles. This pattern of uninterrupted passes—spanning from January 2022 to January 2026—indicates no recurring mechanical failures or advisory issues that would suggest worsening structural or drivetrain concerns. The absence of advisories or failings on emissions, brakes, or suspension components in any test implies that previous owners adhered to basic maintenance intervals, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred repairs beyond MOT scope. The recorded mileage of 38,526 miles over a decade—approximately 3,853 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The consistent annual mileage increments (e.g., 31,621 in January 2022 to 33,547 in January 2023, a 1,926-mile increase) rule out rapid deterioration from high mileage, but the low total raises questions about fluid changes, tyre rotation, and suspension servicing. Without service records, buyers should verify whether fluids like brake fluid, power steering, and differential oil have been refreshed, as stagnation can accelerate component failure. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting suspension integrity, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of fatigue or corrosion—common in low-mileage vehicles left stationary for extended periods. The brakes, though never failed, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, as binding was not explicitly ruled out in past tests. Tyres, though not flagged, should be checked for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, as the lack of advisories could mask subtle alignment or suspension issues. Finally, a thorough underbody inspection is essential to assess for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts, as rust progression can accelerate in vehicles with minimal movement.
