2018 Vauxhall Crossland 1.6L Diesel · DP67 GZW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 with 92,035 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a significant improvement following a major mechanical failure in mid-2024. While the 2024 test revealed critical issues, the subsequent pass a year later without advisories indicates that the previous owner addressed the urgent repairs to return the car to a passing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of use, with 14,907 miles driven between September 2022 and September 2023, and another 15,757 miles between September 2023 and August 2024. This regular usage suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber components and mechanical seals within the braking system. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking and exhaust systems, as these are recurring points of failure. The 2023 test noted pitted rear brake discs and a minor exhaust leak which escalated into seriously weakened discs and a major exhaust flexi failure by July 2024. Although these were replaced to pass the following test, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the components may be prone to accelerated wear or corrosion. A physical inspection should verify that the new brake components are free of binding and that the exhaust mounting remains secure. The 2024 failure involving all four tyres being below the legal 1.6mm limit indicates a period of neglect where basic consumable upkeep was ignored. While the vehicle has since passed without defects, the buyer should check the current tyre tread depth and manufacture dates to ensure maintenance standards have not lapsed again. Given the mileage and the history of exhaust-related issues, inspecting the suspension bushes for signs of wear would also be a prudent step in evaluating the long-term structural integrity of the Crossland.
