  • Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
  • NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
  • Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official figures.
  • VCA’s data has no Vauxhall versions for 2019 to 2023, so the years listed may leave out years the Vauxhall Mokka was on sale.
  • Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “MOKKA”, “Mokka X, Model Year 2018A”, “Mokka, Model Year 2015”, “Mokka X, Model Year 2017”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Vauxhall Mokka safety recalls

DVSA lists 26 safety recalls for the Vauxhall Mokka since 1992, the first in 2013. The most recent was launched on 9 March 2026.

Alternator protection

Launched 9 March 2026 DVSA recall R/2026/072 Manufacturer ref. KV7 – 261071EE

Defect
Affected vehicles may have been assembled with contact or with a reduced clearance between the Gasoline Particulate Filter pipe and the pole protection cap of the 48V Belt Starter Generator. There is a possibility of contact between these components leading to water infiltration and an electrical arch which could trigger a thermal event.
Remedy
Replace the pole protection cap of the 48V Belt Starter Generator. Check the distance between the Gasoline Particulate Filter pipe and the pole protection cap of the 48V Belt Starter Generator and re‑position or replace the pipe if required.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Vauxhall Mokka. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
  • MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
  • DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
