2020 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · ML70 GPV

The 2020 Vauxhall Crossland presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 9 September 2025 at 35,987 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a strong indicator that the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order, free from the minor braking system advisories that appeared in the previous test cycle. The record shows no recurring structural, suspension, or exhaust defects, and the most recent outcome suggests any earlier wear items have been addressed. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 20,145 miles and the September 2024 test at 28,164 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 8,000 miles in twelve months, which is consistent with regular but light use. The subsequent period from September 2024 to September 2025 shows no recorded mileage increase, indicating the vehicle may have been stationary or very lightly used during that time. Prolonged standing can cause flat-spotted tyres, brake surface corrosion, and battery drain, so a buyer should verify these areas even though the most recent test returned no faults. The September 2024 test at 28,164 miles flagged worn and pitted rear brake discs on both sides along with front brake pads wearing thin. These are consumable items expected to degrade with use, and the clean 2025 result implies they have since been replaced. No further braking defects have been recorded, which is reassuring. The only other recorded issue was a headlamp aim defect on 8 September 2023 at 20,145 miles, which was corrected on the same day during a retest. This is a minor adjustment and not indicative of deeper electrical or structural headlamp damage. A prospective buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on the braking system, checking disc thickness and pad condition to confirm the replacements are holding up. Given the period of low or zero mileage accumulation between 2024 and 2025, tyre condition, battery health, and any signs of moisture ingress or corrosion in the exhaust and underbody deserve close attention. The overall record is clean and consistent with a well-maintained, lightly used vehicle, but the unusual mileage gap warrants a thorough test drive and underbody check before purchase.
