2021 Vauxhall Crossland Elite Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · SR70 AJU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT test in January 2026 at 41,670 miles passed, the tester flagged a high hand brake lever and a nearside front outer tyre reaching the legal limit. These issues suggest that while the car is functional, the owner has neglected routine adjustments and consumable part replacements until they approached inspection failure thresholds. The mechanical condition appears stable across the last three tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. Between the February 2024 test at 25,370 miles and the January 2025 test at 35,103 miles, the car covered nearly 10,000 miles, representing standard annual usage. This steady accumulation justifies the wear seen on components like tyres and mounts, but it also confirms the vehicle has seen enough use to stress the suspension and exhaust system as noted in the record. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, specifically the offside front suspension arm ball joint which was noted to have play in 2025. The recurring issue with the front exhaust mounting, moving from a cracked weld in 2024 to an adrift mount in 2025, indicates the exhaust system is under vibration or stress and requires structural attention. Additionally, the minor oil leak reported in 2025 warrants a physical check to ensure it has not worsened into a significant gasket failure over the subsequent 6,500 miles.
