Our Verdict
This Vauxhall Mokka is a sensible option for those seeking a compact SUV with a consistent MOT record. While it has experienced two recent failures, these occurred immediately before successful retests with no defects recorded, suggesting minor issues were addressed.
When viewing this specific 2018 Mokka, request the service history to see how the 1364cc petrol engine has been maintained. Since the most recent MOT failures in 2024 and 2025 showed no defects upon retest, ask the seller for clarification on what specifically caused those failures—it could be as simple as a blown bulb or a worn wiper blade, but knowing the exact cause provides peace of mind.
Negotiate based on the fact that the vehicle has required remedial work twice in the last twenty-four months. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are common items that trigger MOT failures in small SUVs. Ensure the red paintwork is free from significant chips or fading, which can sometimes occur on older vehicles exposed to the elements.
The 1.4L petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it affordable for many UK drivers. Fuel economy for this model typically sits in the mid-range for small petrol crossovers, balancing urban drivability with motorway capability.
Maintenance costs for a Vauxhall of this age are usually predictable, though you should budget for standard consumables like oil, filters, and brake components. Given the current mileage of 51,216, you should anticipate upcoming service requirements typical for a vehicle approaching the 60,000-mile mark.
Because the MOT history shows failures in both 2024 and 2025 that were corrected without further defects, pay close attention to the items that typically cause such failures, such as lighting, wipers, or minor suspension components. While the records don't specify the defect, the timing suggests they were quick-fix issues.
Inspect the exterior for any signs of uneven tyre wear or suspension knocks, which can be common in small SUVs. Additionally, check the interior electronics and all exterior lights to ensure everything is functioning correctly, mirroring the cleanliness of the most recent 2025 MOT pass.
Registered in September 2018, this red 1.4L petrol Mokka has covered 51,216 miles over its eight-year lifespan. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing tests, though it has encountered two failures in the last two years (2024 and 2025) just prior to successful retests. The mileage is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Vauxhall Mokka to provide a specific model-wide trend.
