2021 Vauxhall Crossland Elite NAV 1.2L Petrol · DN21 UDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest inspection in May 2026 at 58,340 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep regarding consumable items. While the 2024 test showed no defects, the subsequent two tests identified specific issues with tyres and fluid integrity, suggesting that components are only being addressed once they approach legal or testing thresholds. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year which aligns with typical national averages for a five-year-old vehicle. The interval between the May 2024 test at 52,668 miles and the May 2025 test at 55,728 miles shows a slightly lower annual run before maintaining the overall average. This regular use suggests the vehicle is not prone to long stationary periods, which generally helps keep seals and mechanical components lubricated. Buyers should specifically investigate the oil leak noted during the May 2025 test at 55,728 miles. Although the tester deemed it non-excessive at the time, physical inspection of the engine block, sump cover, and oil pan is necessary to determine if this is a weeping gasket or a developing leak. The uneven wear reported on the nearside front tyre in 2025 also indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified to ensure no premature wear on new rubber. Additionally, the cut on the nearside rear tyre recorded in the 2026 test requires a close look for structural damage to the sidewall that may not have been apparent during the initial inspection.
