2015 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6L Petrol · WR65 XCS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 57,475 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive rather than proactive care. The failure just eight days prior to that successful test at 57,453 miles revealed multiple immediate safety issues, including illegal tyres, a failed lamp, and an exhaust leak. While these faults were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the record suggests the previous owner neglected basic equipment checks until the formal test occurred. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,225 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between August 2023 and August 2024, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in just twelve months. Since then, usage has slowed again, with only 8,646 miles recorded in the final year. This low mileage often leads to degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyres, which can suffer from dry rot rather than tread-related wear. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the exhaust flexi-pipe, as this component was flagged for leaks in both the 2024 and 2025 tests. The recurring nature of this fault suggests the previous repair may have been a temporary fix rather than a full replacement. Given the failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system in September 2025, the dashboard should be verified to ensure no persistent warning lights remain active. Additionally, the low mileage warrants a check for cracking on the tyre sidewalls and corrosion on the brake calipers, which frequently seize when vehicles remain stationary for long periods.
