2020 Vauxhall Crossland X Griffin 1.2L Petrol · SH70 YVP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred consumable repairs. While it passed the latest test in March 2026 at 25,623 miles, the tester identified pitted and scored rear brake discs alongside both front tyres reaching the legal tread limit. This follows an advisory from September 2025 where the nearside front tyre was flagged for similar wear, indicating that the owner is currently delaying routine maintenance until MOT failure thresholds. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,270 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between tests, moving from 17,592 miles in August 2023 to 25,623 miles in March 2026. This low annual mileage suggests minimal mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, but the presence of corroded brake discs suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods or be driven primarily on short trips, leading to surface oxidation on uncleaned metal components. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system to ensure the reported pitting on the rear discs has not progressed into structural thinning or uneven wear. The exhaust leak at the flexi section noted in August 2024 should also be verified as repaired, as these leaks often worsen and lead to manifold damage if ignored. Given the recurring edge wear on the front tyres, a professional check of the front alignment and suspension bushes is necessary to ensure that uneven geometry is not causing premature tyre degradation.
