Vauxhall Mokka (2014)
2014 Vauxhall Mokka
CarHunch analysed 32,665 real MOT records for the 2014 Vauxhall Mokka. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2014 Vauxhall Mokka passes its MOT slightly above the UK average at 82.2%, which is solid, but the troubling part is that 35.5% of vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—well above acceptable. Petrol versions edge out diesels (82.7% vs 81.4% pass rate), suggesting marginally better reliability in the petrol variant.
At nearly 48,000 miles median for a decade-old car, these Mokkos have been driven reasonably hard but not excessively. The average of 2.13 failures per vehicle and 12.1 advisories flags that electrical and wear items are accumulating, so expect non-trivial repair bills—check the full MOT history for patterns before buying, and budget for suspension and lighting work.
What to check before buying a 2014 Vauxhall Mokka
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 35.5% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
