2020 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · DS20 EOD

The July 2026 MOT at 67,239 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and a stable maintenance record. Previous tests show a consistent pattern of successful outcomes, with the only notable fault occurring in June 2025, when the vehicle failed due to a non‑functional offside rear stop lamp and an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. Since that remedial work, the subsequent July 2026 inspection demonstrated no new failures, indicating that any prior issues have been resolved and the vehicle’s mechanical condition remains steady. The mileage trajectory over the past three years reflects a regular annual increase of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles, rising from 44,671 miles in July 2023 to 67,239 miles in July 2026, which aligns with the typical 11,200‑mile‑per‑year usage for a six‑year‑old Vauxhall Crossland. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, as each MOT was conducted within a twelve‑month window of the previous test, and the gaps between 2023‑2024 and 2024‑2025 were approximately one year, supporting a reliable service history. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the rear lighting assembly to verify the stop lamp repair, examine the offside front tyre for edge wear and tread depth, and assess the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for signs of binding or corrosion. Particular attention to the brake system is advisable, checking for binding calipers, worn brake discs and pad thickness, while the chassis and structural members should be scrutinised for rust that could compromise integrity. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions readings should be reviewed to ensure compliance with current standards.
