VAUXHALL CROSSLAND2019 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 44,791 miles secured a pass only after a failure the previous day for a parking brake adjustment and a worn offside rear tyre. While the vehicle is currently legal, the recurring failures suggest the owner only addresses faults when they fail an inspection rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 44,791 miles over seven years, the Crossland averages approximately 6,400 miles per year, which aligns well with typical national averages for a smaller family vehicle. The data shows a significant gap in mileage between May 2023 and September 2024, where the car covered only 65 miles in 16 months. This period of low use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the perishing and cracking of the nearside front tyre noted during the September 2024 test. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The September 2024 failure flagged pitted and scored discs on both the front and rear axles, and the August 2025 failure highlighted excessive movement in the parking brake lever. These issues suggest the brake calipers may be seizing or the adjustment mechanism is poorly lubricated. Furthermore, the offside rear tyre wearing on the edge in the 2025 test indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension wear that should be verified to prevent premature wear of new tyres.
