2020 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · LA69 MDF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 60,293 miles passed with advisories for perishing rubber on both rear tyres and the nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. This follows a pattern of neglect seen in 2024, suggesting that the owner only addresses wear items once they approach failure or trigger an MOT fail. The mileage profile is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in records between December 2022 and January 2024, during which the car covered 10,108 miles in just thirteen months. Since the January 2024 test, the vehicle has covered another 19,747 miles by the December 2025 test. This steady usage suggests regular short-distance driving, which places expected strain on the braking system and suspension components. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system hardware, as the record shows a recurring issue of pitting and scoring on the discs. Faults were noted on the front discs in 2022 and on both rear discs in 2024. While pitting is not an immediate structural failure, it indicates the vehicle may sit for long periods or operate in corrosive environments. A physical inspection should verify the thickness of the pads and ensure the calipers are not seizing, which would accelerate this surface corrosion. The tyre history further highlights poor oversight of basic consumables. In 2024, all four tyres were flagged for being near limits or uneven wear, and the 2025 advisory for cracking and perishing indicates the rubber is aging independently of tread depth. The buyer should check for alignment issues that explain the edge wear and ensure that the current set of tyres has been replaced since the last advisory.
