2018 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · WU11 BET

The 2018 Vauxhall Crossland presents a mixed maintenance record, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-01 confirming a pass at 61,697 miles. However, the vehicle failed two MOTs in 2025 and 2024, both at the same mileage, with no defects recorded. This pattern suggests potential administrative errors or non-technical failures, but the absence of recorded issues complicates interpretation. The lack of defects in passing tests and failures alike implies either a lack of critical faults or incomplete reporting. The trend remains stable, with no escalating issues noted in the data. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 7,712 miles annually over eight years. The 2023 test at 52,254 miles showed a pass, followed by a 2024 failure at 56,591 miles, then a 2025 pass at 61,697 miles. The 4,337-mile increase between 2023 and 2024, and 5,106 miles between 2024 and 2025, reflects consistent driving but no rapid accumulation. The sparse data lacks detailed fault records, making it difficult to assess wear patterns. The vehicle’s age and mileage suggest normal component degradation, but the MOT history offers no evidence of structural or mechanical deterioration. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems during a pre-purchase inspection, as these are common areas for wear in older cars. The absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden issues, particularly if the MOT failures were due to minor oversights. Inspect for corrosion in the underbody, brake disc thickness, and suspension bushings, which may not appear in MOT reports. Additionally, confirm the history of the 2025 failures, as unrecorded defects could indicate unresolved problems. A professional inspection is recommended to validate the MOT data and assess hidden risks.
