Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent mecha
When inspecting this specific Mokka, pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle. The recent MOT failure for a major exhaust leak and a worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint suggests that wear-and-tear items may be reaching the end of their life cycle. Ensure that the repairs following the May 2026 failure were carried out with quality parts and ask for receipts to verify the work.
Given the history of four tyres being noted as worn close to the legal limit in 2023, check the current tread depth on all four tyres. You should also inspect the suspension components for any signs of play or knocking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces, as the ball joint has been a recurring issue in the recent history of this vehicle.
As a 1.7L diesel model, fuel economy will be reasonable for long-distance driving, though costs will depend on driving style and load. This vehicle's tax band and insurance group will be typical for a mid-sized diesel SUV of this era.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the age and mileage. The MOT history suggests frequent attention to tyres and suspension components. Expect typical diesel maintenance requirements, such as fuel filter changes and potential timing belt considerations given the mileage.
Specifically inspect the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or loose mounting, following the major leak recorded in May 2026. The suspension should be a priority; check the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint to ensure the previous failure has been fully rectified and that no further play exists.
Additionally, check the condition of all four tyres. The vehicle has a documented history of multiple tyres being worn close to the legal limit (as seen in the 2023 record) and failing on tread depth in 2026. Ensure the current set meets legal requirements and shows even wear, which would indicate correct wheel alignment.
This 2013 blue Vauxhall Mokka has covered 108,161 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,641 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre wear and suspension issues, most notably a major exhaust leak and ball joint failure in May 2026. Although it passed its most recent test in May 2026, the vehicle has experienced multiple advisories and failures regarding consumables and underbody components.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.8%, with common failure points including suspension arms, coil springs, and headlamps.
