2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · SD14 EXO

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT history shows a stable roadworthiness trend, though the February 2026 test cycle reveals an unusual anomaly. The vehicle passed cleanly on 2026-02-10 at 84,523 miles after failing the previous day at 84,522 miles—an identical mileage reading suggests a technical error rather than a mechanical issue. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 passed without defects, indicating no recurring faults in brakes, suspension, or emissions. The lack of advisories or minor failures across these cycles implies the vehicle has likely undergone consistent servicing, though the sudden retest warrants confirmation that no hidden issues were overlooked. Mileage progression suggests typical usage for its age, averaging around 7,000 miles annually over the past four years. The gap between the 2022 (63,688 miles) and 2023 (64,857 miles) tests—just 1,169 miles in a year—stands out as unusually low, potentially indicating extended periods of low use or storage. Conversely, the jump from 64,857 to 75,793 miles between 2023 and 2024 (10,936 miles) aligns with more typical annual mileage. While no extreme wear patterns emerge, this variability could imply inconsistent maintenance intervals, particularly for fluid changes or suspension components. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension subframe and mounting points, as Vauxhall Mokkas of this era are prone to worn suspension bushes and coil spring fatigue. The absence of brake-related failures does not preclude binding calipers or uneven pad wear—always verify disc thickness and rotor condition. Exhaust emissions tests passing without fail suggest the catalytic converter and lambda probes remain functional, but a visual check for corrosion around the exhaust manifold and downpipes is essential. Given the 2026 retest, confirm the vehicle’s service history for fluid top-ups (brakes, power steering, differential) and inspect for signs of neglect, such as rust at wheel arches or underbody corrosion, which could compromise structural integrity.
