2021 Vauxhall Crossland SE Turbo 1.2L Petrol · PF21 BWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent inspection, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The test in September 2025 at 30,242 miles resulted in a failure due to a structural lump in the nearside rear tyre and perishing on the offside rear tyre. While the car passed immediately upon rectification, the presence of a tyre separation suggests the owner only addressed rubber components once they reached a critical failure point during official testing. At 30,242 miles over five years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-usage patterns for a modern hatchback. The gap between the August 2024 test at 24,416 miles and the September 2025 test shows consistent use of roughly 5,800 miles over thirteen months. This low mileage generally preserves high-wear drivetrain and suspension components, though it can lead to accelerated corrosion on rubber seals if the vehicle sits stationary. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The August 2024 record noted noted pitting and scoring on both rear brake discs, a common issue on low-mileage cars where brakes are not used frequently enough to clear surface rust. You must verify if these discs have been replaced or if the pads are thinning prematurely due to surface corrosion. Additionally, the recent failure for tyre perishing indicates that the remaining tyres may be age-related rather than tread-related, necessitating a thorough check of sidewalls for cracking or deformation.
