2020 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · FD70 LHC

The 2026-01-20 MOT at 56,489 miles resulted in a pass, indicating the vehicle currently meets the minimum roadworthiness criteria despite recurring advisories. After a serious failure in December 2023, the car passed in January 2026, suggesting that repairs addressed the earlier rear brake disc wear and service brake fluctuation, yet the repeated front brake disc wear, pitting and tyre edge wear point to ongoing component fatigue. The mileage of 56,489 miles over six years averages about 9,415 miles per year, which is typical for a 2020 model. The intervals between tests show steady use: from 44,510 miles in January 2024 to 50,184 miles in January 2025 (5,674 miles) and from 50,184 miles to 56,489 miles in January 2026 (6,305 miles), indicating no prolonged periods of inactivity. Recurring faults include front brake discs that are repeatedly worn, pitted or scored, and front tyres that are worn close to the legal limit with edge wear and age‑related cracking; rear tyres show slight damage and perishing. The December 2023 failure recorded a significantly worn rear brake disc and an excessively fluctuating rear service brake, while the January 2026 failure flagged an offside rear brake that is binding, suggesting possible caliper or suspension issues. A buyer should inspect the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads for thickness, scoring and binding, examine tyre tread depth and sidewall health for edge wear or perishing, and check the rear brake assembly for seized calipers or suspension wear. Visual assessment of suspension bushes, coil springs and chassis for rust or structural damage is essential, as is verification that the recent MOT addressed the previous rear brake fluctuation and disc wear.
