Buyer's Guide & Inspection Advisory
Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspection. While the recent MOT results show no defects, the history of failures in recent years suggests a need for a pre-purchase mechanical check.
When viewing this specific diesel Mokka, request a detailed service history to see how the 1.6L engine has been maintained, particularly regarding timing belt intervals. Because the MOT history shows failures in both 2025 and 2026, you should ask the seller exactly what the specific reasons for those failures were, as the summary data does not list the defect types.
Negotiate based on the mileage, which is climbing towards the 90,000-mile mark. Check for any signs of clutch wear or dual-mass flywheel issues, which can be common on diesel crossovers of this age and mileage. Ensure all electronics and the infotainment system are functioning correctly.
The 1598cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering good fuel economy on longer journeys. However, buyers should be aware of potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges depending on the specific emissions rating of this 2017 model.
Insurance groups for the Mokka vary, but a diesel variant often sits in a mid-range group. Maintenance costs will likely involve standard servicing, but at this mileage, you should budget for wear-and-tear items such as brakes, tyres, and potentially suspension components.
Given the MOT failures recorded at 78,584 miles and 86,564 miles, a physical inspection of the underside is essential. Look for signs of fluid leaks or excessive corrosion that might have triggered previous failures.
Pay close attention to the tyres and braking components, as these are common MOT failure points. Additionally, check the condition of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) by ensuring the car drives smoothly without excessive smoke or warning lights, as high-mileage diesels can encounter DPF issues if used primarily for short urban trips.
This 2017 grey Vauxhall Mokka features a 1.6L diesel engine and has covered 86,564 miles as of its last test. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures in 2025 and 2026, though these were resolved to achieve passing results. The mileage is consistent with a vehicle used for regular motorway or long-distance driving.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Vauxhall Mokka to provide a statistical trend.
