Our take on the Opel Mokka

A 2023 Opel Mokka typically advertises at €21,750 and a 2018 one at €11,950, so it loses roughly 11% of its value a year at that age. At the NCT, the 2013–2019 cars fail more often than other cars the same year, so a fresh NCT is worth paying a little more for. The 1.2 petrol is the most common engine (59% of those with a known engine), and it usually lasts around 300k km.

Common Opel Mokka problems

Known weak spots to check before you buy, with typical Irish garage costs if the problem is there.

Automatic gearbox health · €300–€2,500

Make sure the gear changes are smooth when warm, check for a gearbox warning light and ask if the gearbox oil was ever changed.

Timing belt history · €350–€700

Ask when the timing belt and water pump were last done (usually every 160,000 km or 5–6 years). No proof = budget for it.
