2018 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · SD18 KDZ

This Vauxhall Crossland has maintained an exceptionally clean MOT record over its recent history, with the most recent test on 4 February 2026 at 41,419 miles passing without any defects. The trend is stable and improving, as there were no advisories or failures in the last four tests, including the duplicate entry on 9 February 2023—an anomaly likely due to administrative error rather than mechanical concern. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has either been well-maintained under a disciplined regime or, more concerning, has been driven lightly enough to avoid triggering common wear points. No structural, suspension, or safety-critical components have been flagged, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, particularly given the low annual mileage. The mileage pattern reveals a striking consistency in low usage, with just 5,177 miles accumulated annually over the past eight years—a figure well below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests are irregular but not extreme: the longest stretch between records spans roughly 11 months (from 25,116 miles in February 2023 to 32,744 miles in February 2024), while the most recent interval covers just over a year (38,066 miles in January 2025 to 41,419 miles in February 2026). Such low mileage could indicate the car has been stored for extended periods, used primarily for short commutes, or kept in a fleet where usage is tightly controlled. The lack of mileage accumulation raises questions about whether consumables—such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes—have been proactively replaced rather than worn out naturally. Given the absence of MOT advisories or defects, a buyer should still prioritise a thorough pre-purchase inspection, particularly focusing on components that typically degrade slowly but critically: the suspension mounts, coil springs, and anti-roll bars for signs of fatigue or corrosion, especially in the lower control arms where stress cracks can develop without obvious symptoms. The brake system—including caliper slides, flex hoses, and disc thickness—should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from seized components if fluid has degraded or been neglected. Structural integrity is less of a concern given the clean MOT history, but a close examination of the wheel arches, sills, and underbody for surface rust or compromised welds is prudent, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in damp or salty conditions. The exhaust system, while not mentioned in the records, should also be inspected for leaks or corrosion, as these can develop silently on lightly used cars.
