2018 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · KF18 DDJ

The 2018 Vauxhall Crossland presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 September 2025 at 34,185 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 9 October 2024 at 28,211 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried forward. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the five-year record. Mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car at 34,185 recorded miles, averaging roughly 4,273 miles per year. The DVSA data shows steady annual accumulation: 14,754 miles on 5 January 2023, 22,049 miles on 8 January 2024, then 28,210 miles at the failed test on 1 October 2024 and 28,211 miles at the pass eight days later. The single failure on 1 October 2024 recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the sparse clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumable wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's likely periods of standing from low use, which accelerates rubber perishing and surface corrosion on braking components. The absence of recorded advisories means no structural rust or exhaust emission concerns were flagged by testers, but eight years of age warrants checking subframe integrity and underbody condition firsthand. Given the clean test lineage and low annual mileage, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The brief 2024 failure with zero defects suggests the vehicle was presented without a valid prerequisite rather than suffering fault, and no recurring wear pattern demands corrective action before purchase.
