Vauxhall Mokka

(2021 – present)

    Summary


    The Vauxhall Mokka is a small SUV/crossover that is slightly larger than the Vauxhall Crossland (formerly Crossland X) and smaller than the Grandland X. The current model was launched in late 2020, with first customers taking delivery of their cars in early 2021.

    The all-new Mokka replace the previous Mokka X and is the first model to feature Vauxhall and Opel’s latest design language. The Mokka is available with both petrol and diesel engines, while an all-electric Mokka-e is also available. We have a separate page for the Mokka-e here.

    As of January 2023, the Vauxhall Mokka has an overall Expert Rating of 66%, which puts it in the top half of the small SUV sector, although it’s several points behing the class-leading Ford Puma.

    The new Mokka has received praise for its fuel-efficient engines and bold styling, although criticisms have been made about its lack of practicality compared to rivals, particularly its small boot. Its four-star Euro NCAP safety rating is also not as good as the five-star score awarded to several of its rivals.

    Reliability data provided exclusively for The Car Expert by MotorEasy

    All data based on MotorEasy average workshop costs for extended car warranty claims

    The Vauxhall Mokka has a reliability score that’s better than average, according to exclusive extended warranty data provided by our partners at MotorEasy. This score covers both the current-generation Mokka and the original (pre-2020) version.

    More than a third of all reported problems with the Mokka relate to its engine, with an average repair bill of about £700. Other areas to look out for are the suspension and electrical systems, although the average bills for these are fairly low. Be aware of gearbox problems, however, – although rare, they are expensive with an average repair bill of more than £1,500.

    If you’re looking at a used Vauxhall Mokka, make sure any extended warranty cover you purchase covers all of these potential problem areas.
