Small Crossovers should be fun and fashionable, but that doesn't mean they can't also be versatile, capable and practical too. Like Vauxhall's little Mokka? Perhaps. Let's check it out as a used buy.
History
The Mokka was first launched in 2012 to represent the Griffin brand in the growing small Crossover market. The idea was to offer a trendy and relatively affordable way for a small, fashionable family to get a foothold in this segment. It was aimed directly at the one hugely popular rival that back in 2012 had really shaken up this sector of the market - Nissan's trendy little Juke.
Wild and wacky, the Juke had bought a super-sized serving of attitude to this conservatively-styled sector. But not everyone liked its wilfully outlandish looks or its cramped rear cabin. So this Mokka took it on with a slightly more spacious supermini floorplan and fashionable cheekiness designed for wider appeal. It was a package also created to perfectly position Vauxhall against other direct segment contenders like the MINI Countryman and the Ford EcoSport.
Most potential Mokka buyers wanted a diesel; the car was launched with one of Vauxhall's older CDTi units, a 128PS powerplant. In 2015, this was replaced by a quieter, more efficient 134PS 1.6 CDTi unit. In the Autumn of 2016, the original Mokka range was replaced by the Mokka X line-up, which featured a light re-style, a more powerful 1.4-litre petrol turbo engine option and an upgraded Intellilink infotainment system.

I have a 2015 1.7cdti with most of the mod cons, I love most of all the heated leather seats and steering wheel 😊. I've had a lot of cars over the years and had this one the longest at 6yrs and I love it. It's a joy to drive and at only £30 a year road tax what's not to love

Again Sir a brilliant & comprehensive review as always. Thank you.

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

My pleasure!

Great review - thanks. Though you ommitted to mention if there's a footrest to the left of the clutch pedal - and although you didn't mention it, I noticed that reassuringly *there IS a manual (mechancial) handbrake,* instead of these silly little switches or buttons so ubiquitous nowadays. I FAR prefer a manual handbrake, every time. *Surely the most direct comparison would be to the KIA Sportage, though?* The Sportage has a couple of advantages over the Mokka - namely: 1) It does NOT have a Dual Mass Flywheel. This is important because the cost of replacing the clutch on a car without a DMF is approximately only HALF of the cost of a car which DOES have a DMF. 2) All KIAs come with a 7-year 99K miles warranty - which whilst this is less than the 10-year, 100K mile warranty of the Mokka, *IS transferable to future owners.* QUESTION #1: Some? All? Versions of the later Mokka X come with a heated steering wheel - is this also the case with this earlier Mokka please? QUESTION #2: Is there a footrest to the left of the clutch pedal?

Great video as I'm after one of these BUT... I did become, somewhat... 'dizzy' with your constant / quick turning around / wannabe Top Gear host!

Diesel that the cut off engine start does not work it cuts out all the time even when it’s switched off it still cuts engine off that coused many problems it’s scary like a death trap but don’t know how to constantly switch or over fide this button to keep it off all the time as can’t see any use it cutting off when sitting at lights for a min or at roundabout for about 10 seconds saving nothing apart from weird on the car stopping and starting..please help me with this Death Trap that I Drive before the thing is Rammed from the Rear

[@rachelmcmahon9871]

My 1.7 cdti only cuts out when the car is idling and the switch it turned on, it will sometimes cut out when in the wrong gear and going slow but that's down to driver error but if I switch off my button (which I don't now I'm used to it) it doesn't happen

[@Kent_-kj8fv]

Isn’t the Mokka from Opel?

[@uomunumerous2350]

Vauxhall = Opel. or: Opel = Vauxhall.

[@aciddiver1978]

In real life isnt always the same as on paper. I have 1.6 petrol wich use 6.3 litres pr 100km. And the 1.4 turbo use 7 litres per 100km. So the "less desirable" use less petrol.

[@mjolnir_swe]

Is that so? Turbo engines are usually a bit more frugal. Thats why every engine has turbo these days.

[@philharman9597]

Isn’t it illegal not to have a spare wheel in your car? Only an idiot would go out without one.

[@rachelmcmahon9871]

Not at all, if your your brand new car comes without a spare you get an electric inflator and a can of foam wheel repair

[@JohnM...]

You went round a corner WAY too fast, onto the OPPOSITE side of the road. Really bad driving.
