2021 Vauxhall Crossland SE 1.2L Petrol · DP21 OFH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. While it passed its most recent test on 27 May 2026 at 38,049 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior at 38,029 miles. The failure points regarding thin rear brake pads, pitted discs, and a perishing tyre suggest that the owner only addresses mechanical defects when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 27,218 miles and the June 2025 test at 32,328 miles, the car covered 5,110 miles, with another 5,721 miles recorded in the final year leading to the May 2026 test. This low annual mileage often contributes to the surface corrosion and pitting on exposed metal components, as is noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system, as the record shows persistent pitting and corrosion on the outer disc faces dating back to June 2025. The recurrence of thin pads in May 2026 suggests the components are reaching the end of their functional life. Additionally, the buyer should check all tyres for sidewall cracking or deformation, as the offside rear tyre was flagged for perishing, indicating the rubber is hardening due to age despite the low mileage. The previous failure of the washer system in May 2026 further supports that basic fluid checks are frequently overlooked.
