2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · SD15 ACU

The Vauxhall Mokka most recently passed its MOT on 16 October 2023 at 83,777 miles with no defects recorded, establishing a roadworthy status as of that date. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, with every pass carrying zero advisories for suspension, brakes or corrosion. However, the DVSA log also shows a fail on that same day at identical mileage, and a matching fail-pass pair on 10 March 2023 at 79,480 miles, both fails citing no defects. This pattern implies the previous owner may have presented incomplete paperwork or initiated then aborted tests, rather than neglected mechanical maintenance. Mileage progressed from 72,176 at the 14 March 2022 test to 79,480 by 10 March 2023, then to 83,777 by 16 October 2023. That spread averages near 7,600 miles annually, squarely typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle and implying no excessive drivetrain strain. The history is thin, covering only 2022 and 2023 entries, and remains clean of any recorded wear on consumables or structural items. Sparse records leave gaps about earlier care, but the consistent absence of flagged faults points to at least superficially conscientious upkeep in the logged period. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, suspension bushes and brake calipers, as the MOT entries provide no deeper mechanical insight beyond the pass results. The twin fail entries without listed defects warrant scrutiny of the V5C and original test certificates to rule out clerical errors or abandoned tests. Verify exhaust emissions and underbody corrosion firsthand, given the Mokka's age and the record's silence on those areas.
