2019 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · CL19 DXP

The Vauxhall Crossland’s most recent MOT test on 4 March 2026, at 21,111 miles, confirms a flawless roadworthiness record across all five inspections. No defects, advisories, or failings have been recorded since the vehicle’s first MOT in July 2022, indicating a stable maintenance history without recurring mechanical issues. The absence of any advisories—particularly those relating to suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers—suggests the vehicle has been kept in consistent condition, though an in-person inspection remains essential to verify hidden wear on components like brake discs and exhaust systems. The recorded mileage of 21,111 miles over seven years equates to approximately 3,016 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for vehicles of this age. The most notable gap occurs between the July 2022 test (9,974 miles) and the May 2023 test (14,887 miles), a 4,913-mile interval over ten months, which could imply extended periods of non-use. Subsequent mileage increments—ranging from 1,074 to 2,067 miles between tests—are more typical, but the overall low annual mileage may correlate with deferred servicing of consumables like tyres, wiper blades, or brake pads. The lack of advisories on tyre tread or corrosion does not negate the need for a visual check of these areas. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting suspension components for subtle wear, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade gradually without immediate failings. The brakes, though never flagged, should be tested for uneven pad thickness or glazing, while the exhaust system warrants scrutiny for leaks or corrosion, especially around joints. The vehicle’s structural integrity—including sills, wheel arches, and underbody—must also be assessed for signs of rust or damage, as low mileage does not preclude environmental deterioration. Finally, verify the condition of the battery and fluid levels, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate degradation in these areas.
