2018 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · FP18 LGX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. While the most recent test on June 6, 2025 at 49,219 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one week prior. The trend shows recurring issues with electrical systems and exhaust components; specifically, the system fault and tyre pressure monitoring system failure recorded in May 2025 appear to have been rectified by the June re-test, suggesting that major faults are only addressed when they threatening the MOT certificate. At 49,219 miles as of June 2025, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,150 miles per year. This is below the national average for a 2018 registration, suggesting the car has seen light use or remained stationary periodically. However, the mileage gap between the May 2023 test at 47,508 miles and the May 2024 test at 48,471 miles shows only 963 miles of travel. Such low usage can lead to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on brake discs, which is consistent with the reported pitting and scoring found during those periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the exhaust system and braking assembly. The front exhaust mounting and flexi-joint have been flagged as defective or deteriorating across multiple years (2023, 2024, and 2025), indicating a persistent weakness in the hardware. Additionally, the front brake discs were noted as worn and pitted in 2023 and 2024; the buyer must verify if these were replaced or if corrosion continues to spread. Given the ABS warning and engine management light recorded in May 2025, a major scan is essential to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the electronic control modules.
