2020 Vauxhall Crossland X SRI NAV 1.2L Petrol · DL70 SZV

A pattern of recurring advisories concerning braking components and wheel assembly wear is the primary mechanical characteristic of this vehicle, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 30 July 2026. While the vehicle has avoided major failures across its recorded history, the advisory list shows a persistent trend regarding the rear braking system, with pitting and scoring noted on the rear brake discs in both 2023 and 2026. The latest inspection also introduced a new advisory regarding play in the nearside rear wheel bearing, suggesting that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, certain mechanical components are entering a phase of progressive wear. The recorded mileage of 86,077 miles indicates a high-use profile for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,346 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation is significantly higher than the UK average and implies that the vehicle has likely been used for frequent long-distance commuting or high-frequency motorway driving. Mechanically, this sustained mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on consumable items such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyres, as well as more frequent service requirements for the drivetrain and cooling systems compared to a lower-mileage equivalent. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking and wheel assembly during a test drive to address the specific issues flagged in the DVSA records. The advisory for pitted and scored rear brake discs may manifest as a rhythmic pulsation or judder through the brake pedal when applying pressure at speed. Furthermore, the reported play in the nearside rear wheel bearing should be investigated by listening for a low-frequency humming, droning, or grinding noise that changes in pitch or intensity as the vehicle accelerates or as the steering angle is adjusted. The previous advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit in December 2025 suggests that tyre replacement intervals may be frequent due to the high mileage. During the inspection, it is advisable to check the current tread depth and evenness of wear across all four tyres to ensure no alignment issues are present. Given the history of brake disc corrosion and wear, a thorough visual inspection of the rear calipers for binding and the condition of the brake pipes for any signs of surface corrosion is also warranted to ensure the braking system's continued integrity.
