2017 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · NU67 AAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging age-related wear. In the most recent test in April 2026 at 48,555 miles, the car passed but introduced new advisories regarding cracking and perishing on both rear tyres and corrosion on the offside rear coil spring. This marks a departure from three years of clean results, indicating that rubber and metal components are beginning to artwork due to time exposure rather than high mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between September 2022 and September 2023, where the car covered 10,047 miles in a single year. However, since that period, usage has slowed significantly, covering only 12,549 miles over nearly three years. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it often correlates with the dry rot and corrosion seen when vehicles remain stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. While the September 2022 test identified pitted and scored front brake discs with low pad thickness, these were not mentioned in subsequent tests, suggesting they may haveion replaced. The current advisory on the offside rear coil spring corrosion requires close monitoring to ensure the rust has not progressed to a structural failure point. Additionally, the cracking on the rear tyres necessitates immediate replacement, as perishing rubber compromises the structural integrity of the tyre irrespective of remaining tread depth.
