2014 Vauxhall Mokka 1.6i SE 5-door hatchback

Description

Got this Mokka back in 2014, and it’s been a solid workhorse ever since. It’s in metallic blue with black and grey heated leather seats — the seats are comfy, especially in the winter. I’ve kept it well looked after, so it’s got a solid service history, including a recent one at 105k miles. Fresh MOT when I sold it, so it’s safe and up to date.

The car’s got loads of features you’d expect from a modern hatchback: heated steering wheel, automatic lights and wipers, electric folding mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, daylight running lights, fog lights, and all electric windows. Climate control and cruise control are both working fine. I’ve got a CD/AUX/MP3 player with Bluetooth — can connect phone for calls and music, no hassle.

The 18-inch 5-spoke alloys are anthracite grey, fully refurbished, and the tyres are in good shape all around. I’ve driven it fairly regularly over the years, and it handles well. It’s been parked in Stirling, Scotland, for a few years now, so it’s been on the road in all sorts of weather.

It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable and has a lot of the little bits that make driving a real pleasure — especially when you’re on the road and want something practical without the fuss.

Price is £2,691 — just a quick note, since I’m not advertising it as a "deal" or anything, it’s what it is. If you’re looking for a car that’s been well-maintained and has a clean history, this one’s worth a look.
