Our Verdict
This 2016 Vauxhall Mokka presents mixed signals. While the recent MOT history shows no defects in passing tests, two consecutive failures without recorded issues raise concerns about potential hidden problems.
Prioritize a full mechanical inspection to identify any issues that may have caused the MOT failures. Check service records for maintenance consistency and verify if the vehicle has been involved in any accidents. Negotiate the price to account for the MOT failures, and consider requesting a pre-purchase survey. Be cautious of potential electrical or emissions-related faults that may not trigger immediate MOT failures.
As a 1.4L petrol engine, the Mokka likely has moderate fuel economy (around 40-45 mpg). Tax would be £145 annually (2017+ petrol cars with CO2 over 95g/km). Insurance group is likely mid-range (around £1,000-£1,200 annually). Maintenance costs may be average for a 10-year-old vehicle, with potential expenses for timing belts or exhaust systems. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the emissions system and electrical components, as MOT failures without defects may indicate intermittent issues. Check for rust on the chassis and underbody, common in older Vauxhalls. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks or damage. Verify that all dashboard warning lights function correctly and check the condition of suspension components. Review service history for any missed maintenance.
The vehicle has a clean MOT history from 2023-2025 except for two failures in 2024-2025 with no defects noted. At 65,807 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for a 10-year-old vehicle, though no broader model reliability data is available to contextualize this.
No aggregate MOT data available for the VAUXHALL MOKKA to assess broader reliability trends.
