2021 Vauxhall Crossland Elite 1.2L Petrol · LS21 XLJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 46,094 miles showed a pass with an advisory for a worn rear brake disc. This follows a progression of issues from the previous year where a nearside rear tyre was flagged for nearing the legal limit. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the recurring faults suggest that components are being addressed only before failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 8,067 miles, while it added another 3,848 miles in the twelve months leading up to the January 2026 test. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which generally benefits rubber seals and mechanical components, though the fluctuations in annual accumulation indicate non-uniform driving patterns between the service intervals. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension during a physical inspection. The 2024 failure for thin front brake pads combined with the 2026 advisory for worn rear discs indicates the entire braking assembly may be reaching the end of its effective life. The edge wear noted on the nearside rear tyre in 2025 also points toward potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent premature tyre degradation. Furthermore, the previous seat belt failure in 2024 should be visually verified to ensure the locking mechanism remains fully functional and not obstructed.
