2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Diesel · SD65 SPV

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-25—just 12 months prior to today—confirmed full roadworthiness at 71,432 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance history over the past three years, as the vehicle passed every test without fail, including the 2024 retest following an initial failure at 64,218 miles. The absence of recurring faults suggests the previous owner adhered to basic upkeep, though the 2024 failure at nearly identical mileage (a 2-day gap) implies either a minor oversight or a temporary issue resolved before retesting. No advisories in the latest tests mean no hidden concerns were flagged by the tester, but this does not preclude wear beyond MOT scope. The recorded mileage of 71,432 miles over 11 years averages around 6,500 miles annually, a typical figure for a vehicle of this age. The most notable pattern is the 2024 retest, where the vehicle failed once at 64,218 miles and passed again at 64,220—just two days later—indicating either a quick repair or a test centre error. No other significant mileage jumps or prolonged gaps exist, though the 2023 to 2024 interval (5,982 miles in a year) is slightly higher than the 2022 to 2023 period (4,630 miles). This minor variation suggests occasional heavier use but nothing alarming. 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 the 2024 failure, which often correlates with worn suspension. Binding brakes were not recorded, but the rear calipers and discs should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has seen wet conditions. Tyres, though not failed, may show uneven tread if the alignment was never serviced, and the subframe or wheel arches should be scrutinised for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust in those areas. The 2024 retest suggests no major mechanical issues, but these areas warrant closer examination to confirm they remain within safe limits.
