2019 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · DP19 JUU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of neglected minor consumables and lighting issues. The most recent test in April 2026 at 40,481 miles resulted in a pass, despite advisories for perished rear tyres and a partially functioning inner lamp. This follows a failure in April 2025 where the car was rejected for the same tyre issues and insufficient washer fluid flow. While the vehicle consistently passes after repairs, the recurring nature of the tyre defects suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than preventative care. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 40,481 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,783 miles per year. This low usage profile typically suggests less wear on drivetrain components, but the data shows a significant gap between June 2024 and April 2025 where only 11,032 miles were covered in ten months. Such periods of relative inactivity can lead to the degradation of non-moving parts, which explains the cracking and perishing on the rear tyres. A buyer should inspect the braking system closely, as the June 2024 test flagged both front inner brake discs as pitted and scored. While these were not immediate failures at the time, pitting often occurs on low-mileage vehicles that sit long enough for corrosion to develop. You must also verify the state of the washer system and the lighting assemblies, as these were recurring points of failure. Given the low mileage, ensure the headlamp alignment and all auxiliary bulbs are correctly adjusted to avoid further MOT failures.
