2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · SD16 GVY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 69,293 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability following several recurring mechanical and wear-related issues. While the car suffered from multiple failures regarding mounts and braking components in previous years, the lack of advisories in the latest test suggests that the current owner has addressed the outstanding faults that previously plagued the service history. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between October 2020 and January 2022, during which the car covered roughly 6,000 miles over fifteen months. Since the 2022 failure, usage has remained steady, covering about 19,000 miles over the last four years. This low-annual usage is generally favourable for the drivetrain, though it can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the engine and gearbox mounts, as these components were flagged as defective or damaged multiple times between 2022 and 2025. Although the latest test passed, the repeated failure of these mounts suggests a vulnerability to accelerated rubber wear. The braking system also shows a long history of pitted and scored rear discs and thin pads; verifying the current thickness of the rotors and the condition of the calipers is essential to ensure the issue has been fully resolved. Attention must also be paid to the rear suspension geometry. Given the history of fractured coil springs and corroded components in 2020 and 2022, the inspector should check for signs of surface rust or sagging on the springs. The previous record of perishing tyres and low tread depth indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, necessitating a check of the sidewalls for dry cracking regardless of the remaining tread.
