Cheap Vauxhall Mokka Coil Spring

Yes, the Vauxhall Mokka does use coil springs as part of its suspension setup. The front axle uses a MacPherson strut arrangement with a coil spring over the damper, and the rear axle also uses coil springs on most variants, so this is a genuine and common part to source from a breaker.

The first-generation Mokka ran from 2012 to 2016, so both years fall within the same generation and the springs are more likely to be compatible than if you were crossing into the Mokka X or second-generation Mokka. That said, you should confirm the specific spring against your registration with the breaker, as variants with different engine sizes or suspension tuning may use different spring rates within that generation.

The Mokka X, introduced in 2016 as a facelift of the first generation, shares its basic platform with the pre-facelift Mokka, so there is a reasonable chance of crossover, but this is a boundary you should not assume is clear-cut. Suspension components can vary across facelifts even on the same platform, so always confirm the part against your exact registration with the breaker before buying.

Engine size can influence suspension specification because heavier or more powerful variants are sometimes fitted with uprated springs to cope with the additional weight or performance demands. On the Mokka, you should tell the breaker your exact engine size and whether it is a petrol or diesel when asking for a quote, as a spring from a smaller-engined car may not be ideal for a larger-engined variant.

Trim level alone does not determine which coil spring is fitted, so a spring from an SE, Exclusiv, or Design trim Mokka of the same generation and engine size should be interchangeable. The main differences between trims are cosmetic, so you may receive a spring that looks identical regardless of what trim the donor car was — the key details to match are generation, engine, and whether it is a front or rear spring.

For the front axle of the Mokka, coil springs typically sit symmetrically and are not handed, meaning the same spring is used on both the nearside and offside, but you should confirm this with the breaker for your specific year and engine. Rear springs are also generally not handed on this model, but it is always worth double-checking with the breaker against your registration to be certain before purchasing a used part.
