2020 Vauxhall Crossland X Elite NAV Turbo A 1.2L Petrol · GD69 XYH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding braking components. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 27,108 miles passed, the tester flagged the rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. This follows similar advisories from 2024 at 19,581 miles, where both front and rear discs were noted for wear and surface degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles annually. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2023 at 5,317 miles and November 2024 at 19,581 miles, during which the car covered over 14,000 miles in seventeen months. This pattern of intermittent use likely explains the perishing of the tyres recorded in late 2024, as rubber components tend to dry rot when a vehicle remains stationary for long periods. A prospective buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the recurring pitting and scoring on the discs have not compromised structural integrity or caused caliper seizing. The presence of surface corrosion suggests the vehicle sits frequently in damp environments or unused, which accelerates wear on metal surfaces. Additionally, verify the sidewalls of all tyres for further cracking, as the 2024 record indicates the rear rubber was already beginning to fail due to age rather than tread depth.
