2020 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · CV20 YLC

The Vauxhall Crossland presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 February 2026 at 45,404 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual passes show no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers across the vehicle's life. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,567 miles, typical for a six-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 10,585 miles at the February 2023 test, 21,767 miles in February 2024, 33,885 miles in February 2025, and 45,404 miles in February 2026. The clean history gives little to interrogate, though the February 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass logged on the same day at 21,767 miles with no defects cited, which points to an administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical fault. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. The absence of advisories does not rule out early wear in suspension bushes, brake disc condition, or underbody corrosion that testers may not have flagged at low mileages. Given the car stood at sub-11,000 miles through its first three years, check for perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage. Pre-purchase checks should cover exhaust emissions against current standards, steering linkage play, and structural integrity around sills and subframes. The record implies conscientious upkeep by prior owners, but a independent mechanical survey remains sensible before purchase.
