Is the Vauxhall Mokka ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 220,751 MOT tests, around 84% of Vauxhall Mokkas still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 4% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 13%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 74% petrol, 26% diesel. Every petrol Mokka in the data (2012 onwards) is likely to be compliant. Diesel Mokkas are generally compliant from 2016, while diesel cars from 2013 or earlier are likely to be charged.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Mokka
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (74% of Mokkas tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Diesel (26% of Mokkas tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
Mokkas from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (13% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Vauxhall can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Vauxhall Mokka for London: what the MOT data shows
The Vauxhall Mokkas in this data were first registered between 2012 and 2021. 2015 was the most common year, with 43,385 tests (20% of the total), and half were registered in 2016 or later.
Mokkas from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 76% of the time, at an average of 46,967 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 65% of the time with 79,154 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Mokkas likely to comply are from 2016. 13,403 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 73% of the time and averaged 50,220 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Mokka's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were suspension: "ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt" (4.4% of tests); lights and electrics: "not working" (3.7%); visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (3.6%). The most frequent advisory was "has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure", on 13.8% of tests.
Overall, 74% of Mokkas passed first time, slightly above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 50,161 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
