2019 Vauxhall Mokka

CarHunch analysed 21,687 real MOT records for the 2019 Vauxhall Mokka. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2019 Vauxhall Mokka passes its MOT first time in 87.9% of cases, a solid 7.9 percentage points ahead of the UK average, with petrol versions slightly more reliable than diesel at 88.0% versus 86.1%. Dangerous defects affect 14.4% of the cohort, which is moderate rather than alarming, so it's not a red flag for structural safety issues.

At 28,325 miles median for a 2019, these Mokas are running light for their age, suggesting relatively gentle use across the fleet. The average of 0.7 failures and 3.9 advisories per test indicates minor wear items crop up regularly but nothing systemic—check suspension and trim components during a pre-purchase inspection, as these are the most common advisory territory for this model.

What to check before buying a 2019 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.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
