2022 Vauxhall Crossland Ultimate Turbo Auto 1.2L Petrol · ST22 OTE

The most recent MOT test conducted on 10 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a previous test in May 2025 which noted a worn offside front tyre, an issue that appears to have been rectified prior to the subsequent inspection. Overall, the maintenance trend is stable and suggests a vehicle that is being kept in a roadworthy condition with a clean bill of health from the most recent official inspection. With a recorded mileage of 17,830 miles over approximately four years, this vehicle has covered an average of 4,458 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average and indicates light usage. While this results in reduced mechanical wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension components, low-mileage vehicles can be susceptible to specific issues arising from prolonged periods of inactivity or short-distance urban journeys. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the rubber components. You should carefully examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as tyres can degrade due to age even if the tread depth remains legal. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, and during the test drive, listen for any sticking or binding calipers that may have developed from standing, which can lead to premature wear or overheating. Attention must also be paid to the vehicle's service history to ensure that maintenance has been carried out according to calendar intervals rather than just mileage. Oil and other essential fluids degrade over time regardless of distance travelled, so verify that the oil changes have been performed annually. Finally, test the health of the 12V battery and the efficiency of the start-stop system, as infrequent use or short trips often prevent the battery from reaching a full state of charge, potentially leading to premature failure.
