After a mad idea, Some time of work and another incident I won't go into myself, wife and my now beloved Mokka traveled the length of the country from Suffolk where we live, up to Scotland just past Inverness and then on to the Isle Of Skye. Then down to Cornwall to near Newquay then on to Somerset and then finally back home.
The car was a absolute dream to drive and not tiring at all unlike previous cars i have owned. My last car, a Astra gave me back ache after a while but nothing of the sort in the Mokka.
Even though we drove it, shall we say a bit heavy footed at times, we still averaged 57mpg according to the trip however my own calculations put it at nearer 60.5mpg which I think is very good seeing my 1.9 Astra struggled to get in the 40's.
2 faults i found whilst driving that it developed a rattle that drove me mad for about 20 miles until I found the cause, which was the blooming key ring and nothing to do with the car at all. Secondly the satnav was great until we were using the iPhone for music and trying to select songs when a junction or whatever was coming up and made the display show the symbol and then having to start all over again to select the track. That was my main annoyance.
Not once did I notice the DPF regenerating so that was good. And did not use any oil that i can tell on the dipstick. The display for the oil now says 84%. All in all it was a great to drive and to all those waiting believe me it's most certainly worth it.
Few photos from the trip and the first thing I done once we got back was to wash it
