2022 Vauxhall Crossland Elite Edition T D A 1.5L Diesel · SD70 TTY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, dated 2025‑05‑01 at 25,506 miles, failed yet recorded no defects. This leaves the road‑worthiness status ambiguous; the failure suggests a procedural or minor non‑conformance that was not formally logged, so the maintenance trend remains indeterminate. No subsequent MOTs are on record, so a clear picture of any improvement or deterioration cannot be drawn. Mileage figures are typical for a four‑year‑old car. At 25,506 miles the average annual usage is about 6,376 miles, matching the model’s expected wear pattern. There is no evidence of a sudden spike or prolonged idle period; the data points are sparse but show a steady, moderate accumulation of kilometres. A prospective buyer should examine the components that often surface in MOT failures, even when no faults are logged. Inspect the brake system – discs, pads, calipers and linkage – for binding or uneven wear. Check the suspension, paying particular attention to the front and rear coil springs, bushings and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue or leakage. Verify steering geometry and the condition of the steering rack and tie‑rod ends. Tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity and wiper blade wear should be assessed, as these consumables influence safety and comfort. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion or loose fittings, and scrutinise the chassis and body panels for rust or structural damage that could compromise integrity. Finally, confirm that all safety equipment – lights, indicators, seatbelts – is fully functional. Given the lack of recent MOT data and the unexplained failure, a thorough in‑person inspection remains essential before purchase.
