AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend following a failure in December 2024. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in July 2024 and August 2023. While the December 2024 record shows both a failure and a subsequent pass on the same day, the lack of specific defect descriptions in the provided data prevents a technical diagnosis of that particular failure. The recorded mileage of 78,243 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,780 miles per year. The MOT testing frequency appears regular, with tests conducted annually from August 2023 through to November 2025. No significant gaps in the testing timeline are evident, suggesting the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT records do not specify the cause of the December 2024 failure, a physical inspection is necessary to verify the condition of key mechanical components. A buyer should focus on checking the brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, and coil springs, as these are common areas for wear at this mileage. The absence of advisories in the most recent two tests suggests no immediate issues with tyres or lighting were noted by the tester, but a manual check of the brake calipers for binding and an inspection of the exhaust system for corrosion remains prudent. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.

Our Verdict

This Vauxhall Crossland is a sensible option for those seeking a small SUV with a relatively clean recent MOT record. While it has seen significant mileage, the lack of recorded defects in the most recent tests is a positive indicator for a buyer.

When inspecting this 1.2L petrol Crossland, focus on the service history to ensure the turbocharger and timing chain have been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Given the mileage has reached nearly 80,000 miles, check for any signs of oil leaks or unusual engine noise during a cold start.

Negotiate based on the mileage, which is somewhat high for a vehicle of this age. Ensure you verify the details of the December 2024 failure; although the data provided shows 'no defects recorded' for the failure itself, you should confirm what was actually repaired to ensure the vehicle is now compliant.

The 1199cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this model in a moderate insurance group and a reasonable tax band. Fuel economy for this engine size in a compact crossover is generally acceptable for mixed driving.

Annual running costs will be influenced by the mileage, which suggests more frequent visits to the garage for consumables like tyres and brakes. Expect typical maintenance costs for a petrol crossover of this age, with an estimated annual budget required for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.

Pay close attention to the brake components and tyre tread, as these are common areas for MOT advisories on vehicles in this mileage bracket. Although the 2024-2025 MOTs show no defects, a physical inspection of the suspension bushings and exhaust system is advised.

Check the condition of the silver paintwork for any signs of stone chips or scratches common on crossover vehicles used on motorways. Additionally, test all electronic features, including the infotainment system and parking sensors, to ensure they are functioning correctly.

This silver 2018 Vauxhall Crossland has covered 78,243 miles since its first registration in December 2018. The MOT history shows a consistent testing pattern, with the most recent test in November 2025 passing with no defects recorded. Although it experienced a failure in December 2024, the vehicle has since passed subsequent tests without further recorded issues.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is currently available for the Vauxhall Crossland to provide a statistical comparison.
