Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution. The ve
The most critical point for negotiation is the sudden spike in mileage, which far exceeds the model average. You should request detailed service records to ensure the engine has been maintained to handle such high intensity of use in a short period. Check for evidence of long-distance commuting or commercial use, as this may impact the general wear of the interior and drivetrain.
Pay close attention to the suspension and tyres. The vehicle failed its most recent MOT on tyres and an exhaust leak, and it has had persistent advisories regarding the Macpherson strut pins and bushes since 2025. Ensure these components are not just 'passed' but are in a condition that doesn't require immediate replacement.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides moderate fuel economy but will likely fall into a mid-range road tax bracket. Insurance groups for the Mokka are generally accessible, though the high mileage may influence some providers' premiums.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average for this age of vehicle. Given the recorded wear on the suspension and the recent exhaust leak, you should budget for more frequent wear-and-tear replacements. Estimated annual costs include fuel, tax, insurance, and a higher-than-average maintenance fund.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension. The MOT history specifically flags worn Macpherson strut pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside in both 2025 and 2026. Check the exhaust system for the leak identified in the August 2026 test and verify the current tread depth of all tyres, as two were recently worn close to the legal limit.
Additionally, inspect the windscreen for the recurring damage mentioned in the last three MOT tests. Check the operation of the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which caused a failure in August 2026, and ensure the offside rear seat belt buckle is fully functional following previous advisories.
This 2016 black Vauxhall Mokka has recorded 100,346 miles, including a highly unusual increase of over 43,000 miles between September 2025 and August 2026. The MOT history shows a pattern of suspension wear and recent failures related to tyre condition and exhaust leaks. While it currently holds a valid MOT, the rapid accumulation of mileage suggests heavy recent usage.
The Mokka has an average MOT pass rate of 79.8%, with common failures frequently involving suspension arms and coil springs.
