What it means for used car buyers
With tens of thousands of Mokka Electric and Corsa Electric models sold since 2020, they are now among the more common used electric cars. They are also popular with buyers looking for an affordable first EV. Used electric car values have been rising in recent months; read why used EV values are bouncing back.
If you are looking at a used Corsa or Mokka Electric:
- Check which version it is. The original Corsa-e had a 50kWh battery and an official range of up to 209 miles. The current Corsa Electric has a 51kWh battery and up to 265 miles. Real-world range is lower, especially in winter.
- Ask for a battery health report before you buy, and check the range shown on a full charge.
- Check the MOT history for free. Electric cars need an MOT from three years old, just like petrol and diesel cars. Look for advisories on tyres, brakes and suspension, which can wear faster on heavier EVs.
- Check for recalls with our recall check, and work through our used car checklist.
- Work out charging costs. Use our EV charging cost calculator, and remember pay-per-mile tax (eVED) starts in April 2028.
