2016 Vauxhall Mokka 1.4L Petrol · WR16 OVC

The 2016 VAUXHALL MOKKA is currently roadworthy, but its maintenance history presents a clear pattern of declining reliability and a lack of consistent upkeep. The most recent test on 2026-01-15 passed at 49,421 miles with no defects, whereas the September 2023 test at 31,787 miles failed, indicating a significant gap in maintenance between the two most recent assessments. This suggests that while the vehicle may have been driven recently, the lack of regular servicing during the intervening period has likely contributed to the failure on the 2026-01-14 record. The mileage data reveals a stark contrast between the vehicle's age and its recorded usage. At approximately 4,942 miles per year, the MOKKA is in poor form, as it is roughly ten years old with such low mileage. This disparity implies that the vehicle has likely been driven for a long time without any substantial wear on the drivetrain, suspension, or brakes, or that the buyer has been unable to maintain the low mileage required to offset the vehicle's age. The absence of any gaps in the MOT records between 2023 and 2026 confirms that the vehicle has been maintained consistently throughout this period, but the failure on the 2026-01-14 test suggests that the maintenance standards were not met during that specific failure event. Consequently, a buyer should inspect the vehicle's mechanical integrity and structural components in person, particularly focusing on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. The recurring faults in the MOT record point to potential issues such as worn suspension bushings, binding calipers, or structural corrosion on brake discs. Given the history of a failed test on 2026-01-14, the vehicle's suspension and braking systems may be compromised, requiring immediate professional assessment before purchase.
