2018 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · PN18 AEG

The vehicle currently presents a positive roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in February 2025 at 51,071 miles returned with no defects, indicating that previous mechanical and wear issues have been addressed and rectified. This follows a period in 2024 where the vehicle failed on a defective front exhaust mounting and play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation of distance, moving from 25,525 miles in March 2021 to 51,071 miles in early 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods between tests, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and fluid systems by preventing stagnation and cracking. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the nearside ball joint was previously flagged for play. While the 2022 test at 33,379 miles highlighted uneven tyre wear on the front axle and low brake pads and discs, the subsequent clean tests suggest these items were replaced. It remains necessary to verify the current state of the front tyres and check for any alignment issues to ensure the previous wear pattern has not returned. The exhaust system should also be visually inspected for secure mounting to ensure the 2024 defect was permanently resolved.
