2021 Vauxhall Crossland Elite NAV Turbo 1.2L Petrol · ST71 KWF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 15,683 miles showed a pass with an advisory for thin rear brake pads. This follows a failure in the previous year, suggesting that while the immediate faults were repaired, the braking system requires frequent monitoring. The overall condition appears stable as the owner is addressing specific safety defects once flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,137 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 8,168 miles and the October 2025 test at 15,683 miles, the car covered 7,515 miles. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the intermittent nature of the use can sometimes lead to brake disc corrosion or flat spotting if the vehicle sits for long periods between short bursts of driving. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and the remaining set of tyres. The October 2024 failure highlighted multiple tyre defects on the nearside front and offside rear, indicating a previous disregard for tyre condition or road damage. Given the rear discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2024, the buyer must check the current discs for uneven wear or thinness to ensure they were replaced alongside the pads. Additionally, check for cracks in the rubber seals and bushings, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related rubber degradation rather than mechanical wear.
