2022 Vauxhall Crossland Ultimate Turbo D 1.5L Diesel · DV22 VBF

This Vauxhall CrossLand Ultimate Turbo D demonstrates a stable and favourable roadworthiness trend, with both recent MOT tests—conducted on 26 February 2025 (10,928 miles) and 1 December 2025 (14,738 miles)—resulting in clean passes without any recorded defects or advisories. The absence of repeated failures or even minor advisories suggests that the vehicle has undergone consistent, if not exemplary, maintenance during its short service life. The most recent test, just over seven months ago, confirms the car remains compliant with current UK roadworthiness standards, though an in-person inspection would be essential to verify the condition of components not routinely assessed by the MOT, such as suspension wear or subtle corrosion. The recorded mileage of 14,738 miles over approximately four years—averaging just 3,684 miles annually—indicates either very light usage or prolonged periods of storage. The gap between tests (around 10,000 miles) aligns with the standard MOT interval, but the overall low mileage raises questions about potential neglect of consumable items like brake pads, tyres, or fluid levels. Such low mileage can sometimes correlate with deferred maintenance, particularly if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, increasing the risk of corrosion or degraded seals. The lack of advisories in either test does not preclude underlying issues, however, as the MOT does not scrutinise components like suspension bushes or coil springs beyond obvious failure points. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested. Focus on the suspension—particularly the condition of rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue even at low mileages—and verify the integrity of brake calipers and discs for signs of binding or excessive wear. Tyre tread depth, though not flagged in the MOT, should be checked for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues or prolonged storage on improperly inflated tyres. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and the sills, as low mileage does not negate the risk of environmental damage over time. The absence of advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but these components require hands-on validation to ensure they remain within safe operational limits.
