2018 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · DF67 XEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs as the mileage has increased. The most recent test in September 2025 at 110,048 miles identified an advisory for front brake discs being pitted or scored. While the vehicle passed the test, this mark indicates a departure from the clean records seen in previous years, suggesting that components are now reaching the end of their functional service life due to heavy use. The mileage profile is high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,756 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage between December 2023 (86,044 miles) and December 2024 (105,299 miles), where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system compared to the lower usage patterns observed between 2021 and 2022 when the car covered only 20,000 miles. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and the nearside rear tyre advisory from the December 2024 test. The pitted condition of the front discs suggests potential corrosion or heat-related wear, which will likely necessitate immediate replacement alongside the pads. Given the high mileage, it is also essential to inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature wear or rubber degradation, as these components frequently fail after passing the 100,000-mile threshold.
