Why does my Vauxhall Mokka's engine make a strange noise?

I recently purchased a Vauxhall Mokka and have noticed that when I start the engine, it makes a strange noise. It sounds like rattling or ticking. Is this something I should be concerned about and what could be causing it?

It's normal for the engine to make some noise when starting up, but if it's a persistent and unusual noise, it could indicate a problem. It's best to have it checked out by a mechanic to ensure there are no underlying issues.

Sometimes, a loose belt can cause strange noises in the engine. Check your belts and see if they need to be tightened or replaced.

Have you recently switched to a different type of oil? The wrong type of oil can cause engine noise. Make sure you are using the recommended oil for your Vauxhall Mokka.
