2021 Vauxhall Crossland SE 1.2L Petrol · DP21 OFG

A pattern of wear‑related advisories defines this Crossland’s recent MOT history – the off‑side rear tyre is already close to the legal tread limit, the near‑side front constant‑velocity boot shows severe deterioration, and all four brake discs are flagged for wear, pitting or surface scoring. Despite these issues the car has passed each test, most recently on 22 June 2026, indicating that none of the observed conditions have yet breached the safety thresholds required for a failure. At 43,715 mi recorded over roughly five years the annual mileage averages about 8,700 mi, which sits comfortably within normal private‑use expectations for a 2021 model. The MOTs have been carried out at roughly twelve‑month intervals with no significant gaps, suggesting a consistent usage pattern rather than periods of prolonged storage or unusually rapid mileage accumulation that could accelerate component fatigue. For a prospective buyer the deteriorated CV boot should be inspected for grease leakage and for any clicking or whirring noises when the vehicle is driven over bumps or through corners, which would indicate joint ingress of contaminants. The off‑side rear tyre will need immediate tread depth verification; if the legal minimum is approached, replacement should be budgeted. The brake discs, all noted as worn and pitted, merit a close visual check for surface irregularities and a road test for any pedal pulsation, judder or increased stopping distances – symptoms that would signal that resurfacing or replacement is imminent. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection should focus on the CV joint condition, tyre tread levels, and brake disc thickness and surface quality. Confirm that the child‑seat obstruction does not impede belt inspection, and verify that no additional corrosion or structural issues are present beyond what the MOT records show. Anticipating near‑term replacement of the brake discs and the rear tyre, and addressing the CV boot, will help budget for the next service interval and ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy beyond its current MOT status.
