2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.7L Diesel · YY14 EWZ

The Vauxhall Mokka’s most recent MOT test on 2025-06-09 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 97,681 miles. While the vehicle has passed all subsequent tests since 2024, the two consecutive failures in early 2023—both at just 80,465 and 80,647 miles—suggest a brief but notable period of neglect or undetected issues. The pattern stabilised thereafter, with clean passes every 12 months, indicating either corrective maintenance or a shift in ownership to a more diligent operator. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the last two tests implies no ongoing structural or mechanical concerns, though the earlier failures warrant scrutiny of components prone to premature failure. The recorded mileage of 97,681 miles over 12 years reflects an average of approximately 8,140 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2023 failures and the subsequent 2023-06-29 pass—just three days apart—suggests either a rapid resolution of the issues or a retest after minor adjustments. No other significant mileage jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity are evident, though the lack of pre-2023 tests means earlier maintenance history remains unknown. The consistent 12-month intervals between tests since 2024 further support regular servicing, though this does not preclude hidden wear in high-stress areas. Given the earlier failures, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system, particularly the rear calipers and pads, as these were likely the cause of the 2023 rejections. The suspension—including coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and subframe mounts, where rust can compromise structural integrity. Exhaust emissions systems, if fitted, should be verified for leaks or catalytic converter degradation, as these often trigger MOT failures in vehicles of this age. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for corrosion, as Vauxhall Mokkas are susceptible to rust progression in these areas over time.
