Small and powerful – this is how mocha is served. Opel has been offering a small SUV of the same name for about ten years. Is the five-seater also used and digestible? Only one real weak point was noticed during the main inspection.
Whether mini SUV or compact SUV – the Opel Mokka is somewhere in between. Unlike other SUVs, which are only available with front-wheel drive, the car was also built with all-wheel drive as a nod to the off-road vehicles in the segment. According to the “Auto Bild TÜV Report 2022”, it performed particularly well at the TÜV.
Model history
The Opel Mokka came onto the market in 2012, still on a platform of the then parent company General Motors (GM). Four years later, the facelift version Mokka X was presented, which has not been built since mid-2019. The successor, the Mokka, has been on the market since 2021 and is also available in an electric version as the Mokka-e.
Dimensions (according to ADAC)
4.28 x 1.78 x 1.66 meters (L x W x H), trunk volume: 356 to 1372 liters.
body variants
The Opel Mokka is a five-seater with the high body typical of SUVs. Variants were not on offer.
Strengthen
The Mokka combines SUV virtues such as higher seats and easy entry with the maneuverability of a compact car. In the main inspection (HU), he affords “only a few weaknesses,” according to the report. Suspension components therefore receive top marks for all years of construction. Especially at the fourth HU at the age of nine there are top marks for the light.
And the brake components are documented at the first HU with complaint rates close to zero. But the other years of construction also remain below average.
weaknesses
The only real weak point is the high oil loss that is typical for Opel, according to the report, and which therefore affects all years of construction. Brake hoses sometimes make a negative impression on the fourth check. The headlights are slightly noticeable in the second HU, the function of the brakes in the third HU at the age of seven.
breakdown behavior
In the ADAC breakdown statistics, specimens from the first registration years 2013 and 2014 are in good places, and then it goes downhill: cars from 2015 to 2018 only perform mediocre, while even younger Mokkas of the series land behind the middle field. The only breakdown: the battery (2016 to 2019).
