Our Verdict
Overall this 2018 Vauxhall Mokka present
Inspect the lighting system carefully: confirm that the near‑side front headlamp and rear stop lamp are now operational and that any replacement parts have been correctly fitted. Request evidence of any repairs, such as receipts or a recent MOT advisory note, to ensure the fault has been fully resolved.
Examine the service records, if available, for any recurring issues with suspension arms or tyres, as these are among the top failure reasons for the Mokka. Even though this vehicle's MOT record does not show such failures, a proactive check can highlight wear that may not yet have triggered a test failure.
When negotiating price, consider the cost of replacing the headlamp and stop lamp if they have not yet been fixed, and factor in any upcoming tyre or suspension maintenance that may be required given the model's known weak points.
The 1.4‑litre petrol engine in the Mokka typically achieves around 45‑55 mpg, translating to roughly £600‑£750 per year on fuel assuming average UK mileage. Road tax for a 1.4‑petrol Mokka usually falls into Band F, costing about £150 annually. Insurance groups for this model range between 20 and 30, leading to an estimated £500‑£700 per year depending on driver profile.
Routine maintenance, including oil changes, tyre replacement and occasional suspension component checks, adds another £200‑£300 annually. Combining fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance, the estimated total running cost sits in the £1,450‑£1,800 range per year.
Beyond the lighting issues noted in the 2026 MOT failure, inspect the condition of the suspension arms, as they rank among the most common failure points for the Mokka. Look for any signs of wear, corrosion or unusual noises during a test drive.
Check the tyres for tread depth, uneven wear and any damage, given that tyre failures also feature prominently in the model's MOT failure statistics. Verify that the tyre pressures are correct and that the wheels are free from bends or cracks.
Finally, conduct a thorough electrical check: ensure all exterior lights (headlamps, indicators, brake lights) function correctly, and test interior electronics such as the infotainment system and climate controls. Any lingering faults could indicate broader electrical issues that may become costlier to address later.
The grey 2018 Vauxhall Mokka (registration LR18OCH) has logged 39,001 miles, notably lower than the model's average annual mileage of 6,570 miles, giving it an estimated total below the typical 55,000‑mile benchmark for its age. Its MOT history shows four passes and one failure, the latter involving a near‑side front headlamp and rear stop lamp – both common issues for this model. Apart from that isolated electrical fault, the vehicle has consistently met MOT standards, aligning with the brand's average pass rate of 80.1%. It offers a reasonable value proposition for buyers seeking a relatively low‑mileage compact SUV.
Across 219,734 Vauxhall Mokka units, the average MOT pass rate is 80.1%, with the most frequent failures involving suspension arms, tyres and headlamps.
