2020 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · DV20 TLX

The 2020 Vauxhall Crossland presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 24 February 2026 at 45,843 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a significant improvement over the 2025 test, where multiple advisories were flagged, suggesting the previous owner addressed those items promptly. The vehicle currently meets all DVSA roadworthiness standards with no outstanding defects. The mileage accumulation of approximately 7,640 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age, indicating regular rather than excessive use. The record shows a notable gap between the April 2024 test at 25,035 miles and the April 2025 test at 40,374 miles, representing roughly 15,339 miles covered in that twelve-month period. This spike suggests heavier use during that period, possibly from commuting or long-distance driving, before tapering to just 5,469 miles between April 2025 and February 2026. The MOT history itself is consistent, with no missed annual tests, which reflects responsible ownership. The recurring theme across the record is brake disc wear and tyre degradation. Front brake discs were flagged as worn in April 2025, and the offside rear disc was noted as pitted or scored in April 2023. Tyre wear advisories appeared in both 2023 and 2025, with nearside and offside rear tyres repeatedly wearing close to the legal limit or showing perishing and cracking. A prospective buyer should inspect the current condition of all four brake discs and pads, paying particular attention to the offside rear caliper, which may be contributing to uneven wear. Tyre condition and age should be checked carefully, as the pattern of edge wear and perishing suggests possible alignment issues or prolonged standing periods. Beyond the flagged items, the buyer should examine the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, given the vehicle is now over six years old. Suspension components including bushes, drop links, and coil springs should be inspected for wear, as the mileage and age make these prone to deterioration. The clean February 2026 result is encouraging, but a physical inspection remains essential to verify that the improvements are genuine and lasting.
