Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a detailed inspection of the braking system. The most recent MOT (August 2026) recorded advisories for corrosion on four separate brake hoses and a worn/pitted nearside rear brake disc. You should negotiate the price downwards to account for the likely need to replace these components in the near future.
Check the service history specifically for brake fluid changes and suspension maintenance. Given the 2024 failure involving two fractured coil springs, verify that the suspension has been fully overhauled and not just patched up. Ensure the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which failed in 2024, is now fully operational.
The 1.6L petrol engine is a standard choice for this model, typically sitting in a moderate insurance group and offering predictable fuel economy for a small SUV. Tax bands will vary based on the exact CO2 output, but expect mid-range costs.
Maintenance costs for this Mokka may be higher in the short term due to the current brake advisories. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and a budget for upcoming repairs like brake hoses and discs, are estimated to be in the middle tier for this vehicle class.
Focus heavily on the braking system. The MOT history shows a pattern of corrosion on brake hose ferrules (nearside front, offside front, nearside rear, and offside rear) and pitting on the nearside rear disc. Inspect these closely for any signs of weeping or further deterioration.
Additionally, inspect the suspension components. The vehicle has a recorded history of fractured coil springs (both nearside front and offside rear in 2024). Check for any unusual knocks or rattles when driving over uneven surfaces, which could indicate further suspension wear. Finally, confirm the TPMS system is functioning correctly following its previous failure.
This 2015 black Vauxhall Mokka has covered 63,143 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,641 miles per year. The MOT history shows a period of clean records between 2024 and 2025, but the most recent test in August 2026 flagged multiple issues with brake hoses and discs. Potential buyers should weigh the higher mileage against the recent advisory list.
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.
