Why is the engine light on in my Vauxhall Mokka?

I recently purchased a used Vauxhall Mokka and noticed that the engine light is constantly on. What could be the reason for this and should I be concerned?

There could be several reasons why the engine light is on in your Vauxhall Mokka. It could be a simple issue such as a loose gas cap or a more serious problem with the engine. It's best to get it checked by a mechanic to determine the exact cause. However, if the light is not flashing and the car is running smoothly, it may not be a major concern.

One common reason for the engine light to be on is a faulty oxygen sensor. This is a relatively easy and inexpensive fix at a mechanic. However, ignoring the issue could lead to decreased fuel efficiency and damage to the catalytic converter.

If the engine light is flashing, it's important to get it checked immediately. This could indicate a serious problem such as a malfunctioning engine or a misfiring cylinder. Continuing to drive the car in this condition could cause further damage and be dangerous.
