2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · ST66 AEA

The Vauxhall Mokka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 72,781 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 17 December 2024 examination at 61,693 miles also passed without fault. The only blemish in the sequence is a failure on 5 December 2024 at 61,689 miles, where the tester logged no defects yet still issued a fail, a pattern consistent with an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2016 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,278 miles per year against the 72,781 miles recorded. The owner added only 2,894 miles between the November 2023 test at 58,799 miles and the December 2024 pass at 61,693 miles, then a further 11,088 miles to the December 2025 test. A nine-month gap separates the September 2022 pass at 55,709 miles and the November 2023 examination, but the sparse, clean record gives no indication of neglected consumable replacement or deferred mechanical work. The December 2024 failure with zero recorded defects warrants verification at point of sale. A buyer should confirm the V5C, test certificate, and any recall or plate discrepancy that may have triggered the reject, since the DVSA data does not specify the cause. Beyond that anomaly, the absence of advisories across five consecutive tests means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural corrosion were not flagged by testers. Given the unbroken pass run from 2023 onwards and low annual mileage, the Mokka shows no recurring wear trend requiring intervention. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody integrity, as these consumables fall outside MOT failure thresholds until worn beyond limits. The history implies a cautious keeper who maintained statutory testing discipline, with no evidence of skipped intervals or escalating fault patterns.
