2019 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · DP69 TKF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 59,974 miles, the car passed only two days after failing due to a dangerous structural bulge in the offside front tyre. While the immediate safety defect was rectified, the presence of advisories for worn brake discs and a misting shock absorber indicates that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure or legal limit threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a significant data gap between the November 2022 test at 24,611 miles and the November 2024 test at 39,053 miles, where the vehicle covered roughly 15,000 miles. The more recent accumulation of 20,900 miles between November 2024 and February 2026 shows a marked increase in usage frequency, which correlates with the accelerated wear observed on the braking system and suspension components. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system closely, as the record shows recurring issues with worn and pitted discs across both axles noted between 2023 and 2026. The light misting on the offside rear shock absorber suggests the early stages of seal failure which will likely require replacement soon to maintain handling. Furthermore, the history of edge wear on the offside front tyre warrants a wheel alignment check to ensure the geometry is not out of specification and causing premature tyre degradation.
