Faults:

Usual wear and tear parts, plus the ABS light came on.

Interior a bit rattly.

Exhaust corroded, center section. Suspension mounts also.

Start/Stop sometimes won't come on.

Pretty good shape otherwise, for its age. No major problems.

General Comments:

If you want basic modern transport, the Mokka is for you. If you like cars and are enthusiastic about driving, look elsewhere.

Very comfortable interior, good visibility. "S" model is very basic but has enough electrics for me.

Very, very dull in silver/grey, as most cars are. The car is so bland and anonymous looking.

1.6 petrol is a bit dear to tax, and barely does 40 mpg. Not the fastest either. But probably more reliable than your average diesel.

So yeah, it's the best car in the world! Just kidding. Woke you up though, didn't I?

Faults:

Nothing but servicing.

General Comments:

A pretty boring SUV, the Mokka is a typical modern car that functions well as transport and no more.

The spacious interior and comfortable seats are ruined by a very firm ride. Shame really, as the car is good otherwise, and even has lots of electrics on this fairly basic Exclusiv model.

1.6 is a bit slow and plodding, but will do you a solid 40 mpg, not bad for the car's size and weight.

In short, it is a decent vehicle, just boring as hell.

Faults:

Center console display failed one week after purchase - went straight back to (used) dealer and he fixed it under warranty for no charge, excellent.

Needed the brake discs changed and pads at front in first service recommendation with myself, not too expensive.

Interior is sounding a little rattly, but nothing has broken yet.

General Comments:

Your typical modern family crossover vehicle. I will struggle to say much about this car in this review, it is so boring that chances are if you are reading about it, it is because you have a growing family and are looking for a modern family car, and already know what they are all about - space, practicality, and no excitement whatsoever for the driver.

Let's get the negatives out the way first, the Mokka (stupid name by the way) is not a good looking car at all. Big, odd looking, interior tries to be stylish with nice touches here and there, but it cannot pretend to be a premium car if it tried. The ride is also too firm.

1.6 petrol is nothing special though likely will be more reliable than the diesels long term; I have heard even the 1.4 is good enough. Average performance, and economy - anything around 40 mpg on a decent drive. Tax a little dear but insurance is OK for me, but I am on older guy. Repair costs so far have been reasonable.

Not exciting to drive. Visibility is not great either. Does have great ergonomics - I find the center console controls fine to use, the seats comfortable, and although not fast it corners at speed well enough without too much body roll.

In short it is just a text book example of a modern family car - buy it for as little as you can get it for, run it for a year or two and then sell it/trade it and move onto to something else before you get too bored.

Nothing thankfully - it's a hire car!

General Comments:

Had one for the past 2 and a bit weeks as a hire car, so too short a time to pass judgement in my view. I would agree with the other poster though that the ride - particularly when unladen and less than 1/4 tank of fuel, is appalling.

My thoughts are -

1. Centre console is way, way too fussy and distracting to use - on a base model. I dread to think how much time a driver's attention will be drawn from the road in an all singing, all dancing model.

2. Engine - flexible but lacks urge - feels quite sluggish when you accelerate.

3. Boot handle - what's all that about? The obvious place would be above the reg plate in the recess where the lights are. That's where your hand naturally falls. Instead it's below the number plate - it adds to the general clutter, gets dirty, and you have to stoop to reach it - as I say there is a perfect place for it - just not where the designer put it!!

Overall 6/10. I am sure there are better crossovers out there.
