2020 Vauxhall Crossland X Griffin 1.2L Petrol · NX69 XDS

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently good, as the most recent MOT test in June 2026 was passed at 32,865 miles. However, the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening mechanical condition, particularly regarding the suspension and braking systems. The first MOT on 2026-02-13 passed at 32,865 miles, but subsequent tests in February 2025 and February 2024 were both passed at significantly lower mileages, suggesting that the car has been maintained in a state of low wear for several years. This pattern of passing tests while mileage accumulates suggests a lack of proactive upkeep, which is a critical indicator of potential future issues. The mileage accumulation relative to the vehicle's age of approximately six years is concerning. The car has maintained roughly 5,478 miles per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age, yet the MOTs show rapid wear on critical components. The most recent test on 2026-06-18 was passed, but the previous two tests in 2025 and 2024 were passed at 24,541 and 17,361 miles respectively. This rapid drop in mileage between the most recent test and the prior two tests indicates that the car has been driven for an extended period with minimal maintenance, leading to accelerated wear on suspension bushings, brake discs, and brake pads. Given the recurring faults identified in the MOT records, such as binding brakes, worn brake discs, and cracked or perishing tyres, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess structural integrity and mechanical condition. The binding calipers and suspension bushes are likely to fail under normal driving conditions, and the worn brake discs require replacement before the vehicle reaches the legal limit. The cracked or perishing tyres indicate that the suspension system is not properly maintained, which could lead to dangerous handling. A thorough visual inspection is required to rule out hidden corrosion or other structural risks that may have developed since the last MOT.
