2020 Vauxhall Crossland X Business ED NAV 1.2L Petrol · DP69 VDL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the September 2025 test at 73,998 miles. This follows a brief period of instability in late 2024 when the car failed on 19 September 2024 due to a nearside rear tyre with insufficient tread depth. The subsequent pass five days later at 65,142 miles indicates that the owner addressed the immediate consumable deficiency. The absence of any advisories or defects in the two most recent tests suggests that recent maintenance has successfully cleared previous issues. The mileage accumulation shows a significant increase in usage over the last two years. Between January 2024 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 15,145 miles, which is a notable jump compared to the 19,000 miles covered between January 2023 and January 2024. At 73,998 miles, the vehicle is averaging approximately 12,333 miles per year. This higher-than-average annual mileage for a 2020 model suggests frequent motorway or long-distance use, which typically places more consistent demand on the drivetrain and suspension components than urban driving. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The January 2023 test at 35,074 miles flagged comprehensive wear across all four brake discs and pads, noting pitting, scoring, and thinning. While the 2024 and 2025 tests show no current defects, the history of widespread disc and pad wear at a relatively low mileage suggests the vehicle may have been driven in demanding conditions or that maintenance was reactive rather than preventative. Checking for any signs of renewed scoring or uneven pad wear will be necessary to ensure the braking components have been adequately replaced. The recurring tyre issues, specifically the 2023 advisory for a worn nearside rear tyre and the 2024 failure for the same component, indicate a pattern of neglecting consumable maintenance. Although the most recent records are clean, the high mileage and previous neglect of tyre tread depths mean a thorough check of the current tyre condition and alignment is advisable. Inspecting the suspension bushes and shock absorbers would also be prudent to ensure the increased mileage has not introduced premature wear to the chassis components.
