2018 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · FP18 MHK

The 2018 Vauxhall Crossland presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 27 October 2025 at 46,762 miles. The absence of any recorded defects in the most recent test indicates the vehicle currently meets all DVSA roadworthiness standards. A failure occurred on 13 October 2023 at 40,830 miles, yet the record shows no specific defects listed for that test. The subsequent retest on 27 October 2023 passed at the identical mileage with zero faults, suggesting the 2023 failure was likely an administrative anomaly or an immediate rectification of a minor issue rather than a deep-seated mechanical fault. The three most recent annual tests have all passed cleanly. The recorded mileage of 46,762 miles over an eight-year period equates to roughly 5,845 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The annual tests demonstrate consistent, gradual accumulation: 34,271 miles in December 2022, 40,830 miles in October 2023, 44,287 miles in October 2024, and 46,762 miles in October 2025. This pattern indicates regular, albeit light, usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage runs. The data is sparse but entirely clean, showing no erratic jumps in odometer readings between inspection dates. Despite the pristine MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from deterioration caused by standing rather than driving. Check the tyres for date codes and sidewall cracking, as original rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, a common issue when a car covers short distances and the pads fail to keep the discs clean. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and scrutinise the underbody and sills for any signs of structural corrosion. The clean MOT history implies diligent basic upkeep, but a physical assessment remains essential to verify the condition of ageing rubber and structural components that MOTs do not always capture.
