Verdict

Buy with care

Urban SUV rated 4 stars by Euro NCAP, with a 350 L boot in petrol form. Its 1.2 Turbo (wet timing belt) and 1.5 BlueHDi (chain, recall for cars built from 3 February 2021 to 30 January 2023) belong to the Stellantis family and require complete servicing. The electric Mokka-e avoids these engine faults; check the battery condition.

Known faults

Degraded “wet” timing belt (1.2 PureTech)

Severity 3/3 · Serious

On the 1.2 PureTech, the timing belt runs in oil and can disintegrate. Its debris clogs the oil strainer, causing oil pressure to drop, which can destroy the engine. Stellantis extended the belt warranty to 10 years or 175,000 km, subject to servicing conditions, and introduced a new-generation belt in June 2022.

Repair

Premature wear of the timing chain (1.5 BlueHDi)

Severity 2/3 · Costly

On the 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5), the timing chain can stretch prematurely because of oil carbonisation; the first sign is a rattle on cold start. A break can damage the engine. Vehicles built between 6 December 2017 and 31 January 2023 are subject to a recall. On the Mokka, the recall concerns 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5R) engines built between 3 February 2021 and 30 January 2023; the 7 mm chain is replaced by a reinforced 8 mm chain.

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution

  • Consumption taken from a published range (depends on trim and tyres).
  • Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
  • Maintenance: budget of a closely related model.
  • Depreciation estimated at 12% of the median price a year, as no year-by-year valuation is usable.

Electricity€35

Mokka-e 136 version: combined consumption of 15.8 kWh/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 0.194 €/kWh, for 1,000 km a month.

15.8 × 1.15 × 0.194 € × 10 = €35

Depreciation€155

Value lost in a year by a typical example, from the valuation gap between two years, per month.

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Insist on service invoices: oil changes at the correct interval with the recommended oil, and belt checks (PureTech).
  • Check the oil level when cold and ask whether topping up is needed between oil changes.
  • Ask an Opel dealer, using the serial number, which recalls have been carried out and whether the warranty extensions apply.
  • 1.5 BlueHDi diesel: listen to the cold start; a rattle can indicate a slack chain.
  • Mokka-e: have the battery's state of health (SOH) checked at a dealer or with an OBD dongle.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Do you have all the service invoices, with the oil references used?
  • Has the timing belt (or the chain on the 1.5 diesel) been checked or replaced?
  • Does the car use oil between oil changes?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
