2021 Vauxhall Crossland Elite 1.2L Petrol · FL21 RZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding braking components. While it passed the test on 9 May 2026 at 31,844 miles, it failed just one day prior due to significant neglect of the braking system. The tester identified front brake pads below the legal 1.5mm thickness limit and seriously weakened rear brake discs, indicating that the previous owner only addressed faults at the point of failure rather than following a preventative schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. The records progressed from 20,980 miles in May 2024 to 28,022 miles in May 2025, and finally 31,844 miles by the most recent test. This low annual mileage suggests the engine and drivetrain have seen minimal stress, but the recurring issues with perished tyres suggest the car may have sat stationary for long periods or been exposed to environmental conditions that degrade rubber components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly, as the record shows a persistent history of pitted and scored discs since 2024. The rapid transition from 'worn' to 'seriously weakened' rear discs within just 3,800 miles suggests a failure to monitor component wear effectively. Additionally, the rear tyres should be checked for deep cracking or perishing, as this fault appeared as an advisory across three consecutive tests, indicating the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life despite having low tread depth.
