2017 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · MM17 WSV

Recurring issues with braking components and tyre wear define the mechanical history of this vehicle. While the test on 28 August 2026 resulted in a pass, it flagged three tyres worn close to the legal limit and a worn nearside front brake disc. This follows a pattern of brake-related concerns, including a major failure in August 2022 due to excessively fluctuating rear service brakes and consistent advisories regarding pitted or corroded rear brake discs dating back to 2020. The recorded mileage of 78,921 miles is typical for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,769 miles per year. This consistent usage pattern suggests a steady rate of wear on drivetrain and suspension components. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, indicating the vehicle has remained in active use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with prolonged periods of standing. Immediate attention is required for the tyres, as the 2026 record indicates the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear are all nearing the legal limit. During a test drive, pay close attention to the braking performance. Given the history of fluctuating rear brakes and repeated advisories for pitted and scored discs, feel for any pedal judder or uneven deceleration. Any vibration through the brake pedal or steering wheel during braking could indicate that the discs are again warped or excessively worn. Further inspection should focus on the current state of the nearside front brake disc to determine if replacement is now necessary. Check for any uneven tyre wear patterns on the front axle, which may point to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. While the structural integrity has not been flagged, the repeated mention of brake disc corrosion suggests a need to verify that the calipers are moving freely and not binding, which would accelerate the wear noted in the recent records.
