How the Vauxhall Mokka holds up with age
Every car fails the MOT more often as it gets older. What matters when you are buying is how steeply that happens for this particular model. These are the 2025 pass rates for the Vauxhall Mokka grouped by the vehicle's age at the time of the test.
| Age at test | Tests | Pass rate |
|---|---|---|
| 3–5 years | 32,298 | 90.07% |
| 6–10 years | 172,729 | 72.81% |
| 11 years and over | 43,953 | 68.55% |
The Vauxhall Mokka drops 21.5 percentage points between its early years and the 11-plus bracket, which is a steep decline. On an older example, the MOT history is worth reading closely before you buy.
Why the Vauxhall Mokka fails its MOT
Across every Vauxhall Mokka that failed its 2025 MOT, the most common area of failure was suspension, accounting for 36.37% of all recorded failure items. These are the areas worth having checked before you buy, and worth budgeting for on an older example.

|---|---|---|
| Suspension | 36.37% | 53,516 |
| Tyres | 13.23% | 19,462 |

What this means when buying a used Vauxhall Mokka
A pass rate is a population average, not a verdict on the specific car in front of you. The average Vauxhall Mokka came to its 2025 test at 57,306 miles and 8.2 years old. Most examples tested were petrol, though 22.42% were diesel.
The useful check is the individual car's own MOT record: how many times it has failed, what for, and whether advisories keep reappearing. A recurring advisory on corrosion, suspension or brakes tells you far more than a model-wide average, and a mileage that does not move consistently between tests is a warning in itself.
