Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a recent sig
Before committing to a purchase, you must verify that the coolant leak identified in the May 2026 MOT failure has been professionally repaired. Ask for a receipt or invoice detailing the work done to address the 'Front Fluid leaking continuously' issue, as this was flagged as a serious safety risk.
Given the mileage is well above the annual average for this model, check the service history thoroughly to ensure regular oil changes have occurred. Negotiate on the price if there is no documented proof that the recent cooling system fault was resolved with high-quality parts.
As a 1.6L petrol model, running costs will be moderate compared to smaller city cars. You should expect average fuel economy for a compact SUV of this era, though actual figures will depend on your driving style and load.
Tax and insurance groups for the 2016 Mokka vary, but typically fall into mid-range brackets. Maintenance costs should be planned around the common failure points for this model, such as suspension components and lighting, which are frequently noted in aggregate data.
The most critical inspection point for this specific vehicle is the cooling system. Check for any signs of residue, dried coolant crystals, or lingering smells around the engine bay, which could indicate the 'Front Fluid leaking' issue from the May 2026 failure has not been fully rectified.
Additionally, because aggregate data for this model highlights suspension arms, coil springs, and headlamps as common failure reasons, inspect the vehicle's underside for worn bushings and check the headlights for any condensation or electrical faults. Given the 85,814 miles on the clock, also inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads.
This 2016 Vauxhall Mokka, finished in black with a 1.6L petrol engine, has covered 85,814 miles. The MOT history shows a relatively consistent pass record, though it is interrupted by a serious failure in May 2026 regarding a continuous coolant leak. The vehicle's mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,641 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.8% MOT pass rate, with common issues frequently involving suspension and lighting components.
