2023 Vauxhall Crossland Ultimate Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · FL23 KHO

The most recent MOT, conducted on 11 March 2026, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, the data set is limited, but the clean result indicates that the vehicle was in road‑worthy condition at the time of testing and that any maintenance undertaken up to that point has kept the car compliant with the statutory safety and emissions standards. At three‑and‑a‑half years old, the Crossland Ultimate Turbo has logged 16,066 miles, equating to roughly 4,600 miles per annum. This is well below the UK average for a vehicle of its class and suggests either predominantly short‑haul use or periods of inactivity. Low annual mileage typically means reduced wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and discs, and the drivetrain, but it can also indicate that the car may have spent extended periods stationary, which can lead to issues such as battery sulphation, tyre sidewall perishing and corrosion of brake components if stored in a damp environment. When inspecting the vehicle, give particular attention to the condition of the tyres; even with modest mileage the rubber can degrade with age, so look for sidewall cracking, tread feathering or uneven wear that might hint at mis‑alignment. Examine the 12 V battery for signs of sulphation or a weak charge, especially if the car has been left idle for long stretches, and consider a load test before purchase. Check the brake discs and pads for surface rust, glazing or uneven wear, and verify that the calipers move freely without binding – a common symptom in cars that sit unused. Inspect the suspension bushings, ball joints and coil springs for any creaking or looseness, and listen for clunking noises over bumps during a short test drive, as low mileage does not preclude premature wear if the vehicle has been subjected to harsh road surfaces. Finally, confirm that the service book reflects regular oil and filter changes, typically every 10 000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, and that the timing‑belt or chain service (if applicable) has been logged. Verify that any outstanding recalls have been addressed, and ask for evidence of recent coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid flushes, as these fluids can deteriorate over time regardless of mileage. A thorough visual inspection of under‑car corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and chassis, will help ensure that the low‑mileage benefit has not been offset by age‑related deterioration, giving you a clearer picture of any imminent maintenance costs.
