2020 Vauxhall Crossland X Griffin Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · EO70 YSG

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate issued on 8 October 2025 at 65,514 miles, which is valid until October 2026. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but shows a recurring pattern of front brake wear that demands attention. The most recent test followed a failure on the same day at 65,513 miles, where the tester flagged front inner brake pads below 1.5 mm and both front inner brake discs worn. A cut in the nearside rear tyre also failed the inspection. The subsequent pass confirms these items were replaced or repaired, yet the underlying issue of accelerated front brake wear persists. The 2024 test at 51,077 miles recorded worn and pitted nearside rear brake discs, while the 2023 test at 37,435 miles was entirely clean. This suggests the braking system has required more frequent intervention as the car has aged, a pattern consistent with either harder driving or lower-quality replacement components. The mileage progression tells a clear story. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the car covered 13,642 miles, then added a further 14,437 miles in the twelve months to October 2025. That is a notable acceleration from the earlier average of roughly 10,900 miles per year. The current recorded mileage of 65,514 miles is consistent with this recent uptick in use. No significant gaps appear in the record, and the annual testing pattern is regular, which supports the view that the vehicle has been in consistent daily service rather than sitting idle. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front braking system. The repeated advisories on inner brake discs and the outright failure on pad thickness point to a caliper or slide pin issue that may be causing uneven or premature wear. Check for binding front calipers, uneven disc scoring, and the quality of the replacement pads and discs fitted after the October 2025 failure. The nearside rear tyre cut that caused the initial failure warrants a close look at the tyre's sidewall condition and remaining tread depth. Inspect the nearside rear brake disc, which was flagged as pitted and scored in 2024, to confirm it has not deteriorated further. Given the recent mileage increase, a thorough check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust mounting points is also advisable, as higher annual use accelerates wear on these components.
