I've seen a number of posts on various threads for suggestions on how to conduct a pre check on the vehicle when you finally get to do the handover and drive away your brand new Mokka. The info is kind of scattered about. Is anyone up for putting together a simple to follow, well laid out, set of checks for a new owner to follow please? That way we could sticky / update it and it would be available for even the most novice of car car buyers to use to stop their big day being ruined on the way home or afterwards.

Good idea DCB.

I've been putting this list together from various comments I've seen.

Manual/Service Book
Warranty Card
Pass Card: With Chassis No, Key Code, Radio/CD code etc
Spare Tyre
AFL check/conversation with dealer
Front lower bumper damage
SE Badge on wing

Update 11/5 (for 1.7 SE)

1.PDI certificate/stamp in service book

2.AFL Lighting issues ""“ 24/4/13 - The Service Bulletin is 13-P-019 Mokka ""“ AFL Headlamp Aiming make sure they have been checked so they are not out of alignment & the software has been updated

3.module for the power steering/steering bolt ""“ ok/problems? Check urgent recall for a steering bolt problem has been seen to (Forum note of 26/3) recall code is 13-c-18

4.Check Both keys work on the vehicle

5.Rear parking sensors ok?

6.If full beam doesn't automatically go off (high beam assist) ""“ check there is no sticker left on the back of the rear view mirror sensor & no sticker on the windscreen in front of the sensor

7.Check for scratches and gouges on all the exterior. Particularly the full length of the front bumper lower lip. ""The silver coloured trim in the lower part of the bumper also has a large gouge out of the paintwork just above where it is attached to the lip, only really noticeable when looking for it.""�

If minor issue are discovered, such as a dirty paw mark, then let the dealer attempt to rectify problem before handing over your cash, or signing on dotted line if finance involved. If something more significant, such as scratches to interior or exterior of the car then I would be looking to reject, or seek some compensation to proceed with the purchase.

8.Re engine temperature - Vauxhall update to fit an extra cooling hose clip (on forum 8/2/13) Also note from Blum ""“ ""my needle starts to move at 2.1 miles, off drive and on to a 40mph road""�

Both keys work on the vehicle

If you have the vx protect that they give you the care pack.

 

[chappo]

At least others will not have to suffer where I have. Thank god for the forum or I wouldn't have known I should have had a care pack. The manager will see my anger tomorrow in my second post delivery visit...is anyone missing a corsa key before I hand it back in

 

[Fatman]

Knew i seen a check list somewhere. Thanks DC and Thanks ChokkaMokka

 

[JDautopower]

Spot on! Good idea. It's easy when picking up your new car to let your heart rule your head, so to speak, so to have a check list to bring you back down to earth is a good idea, well done chaps

 

[DietCokeBloke]

Anything else that should be added to these lists? Maybe the thread should be stickied?

One or two have mentioned aerials,

. Some have not had one, some have had a wrong one & some have found it stowed away in the boot . . . . .

 

[jcol]

One brief amendment to excellent lists, the jet washer nozzle cannot be adjusted

 

[DietCokeBloke]

I thought Blum had successfully made a jet washer adjustment tool?

 

[Tweev]

Don't forget to add the "fine tooth comb"

 

[alanru]

check list

The jet washer nozzleCan be adjusted , just done it today on my mates mokka using the special tool , easy to do ..dont believe everything your dealer tells you ..

 

[Soundwave]

As the 1st September pick up appoaches!, is this still the main checklist to use as it was last updated in May?

 

[robert]

Picked mine up Monday and the drainage holes are well below the rubber, they may have modified it...

Hello all,

Since my delivery date is approaching,
I've been digging through the forum vast experience base to try and find a checklist
when picking the car up.

The last entry was more than 10 month
ago so based on the amount of popularity the Mokka is enjoying; many new members
might have some new things they have encountered.

I'm supposed to pick up a fully loaded
(All factory options for the SE except the flex fit are there)

1.7 CDTi SE Auto and I was wondering if
someone have some new items they can add or change in the list will, that be appreciated.

Thanks to all ""¦
