2022 Vauxhall Crossland Elite Edition Trbo A 1.2L Petrol · PF22 MLL

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 10 July 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a previous pass in July 2025, which noted uneven tyre wear on the front outer edges. The overall maintenance trend appears stable and currently positive, as the vehicle has moved from a state of minor consumable wear to a completely clean bill of health. The recorded mileage of 12,298 miles is exceptionally low for a four year old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,074 miles per year. While this implies minimal wear on the engine, gearbox, and interior trim, such low usage often indicates the car has spent significant periods stationary. This usage profile shifts the mechanical risk from wear-and-tear degradation to deterioration caused by inactivity. Despite the clean latest MOT, the previous advisory regarding outer edge tyre wear suggests a possible misalignment of the front tracking. During a test drive, the buyer should ensure the vehicle does not pull to one side and that the steering wheel remains centred. A physical inspection of the current tyre sidewalls is essential to check for perishing or fine cracking, as tyres on low-mileage vehicles often reach their age limit before their tread limit. Given the low annual mileage, particular attention must be paid to components affected by standing. Inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion and feel for any shudder or binding during braking, which can occur when calipers seize from lack of use. The 12V battery health should be verified, as infrequent short trips can lead to premature failure. Finally, ensure the service history confirms that oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's calendar intervals rather than mileage alone, as engine lubricants degrade over time.
