2020 Vauxhall Crossland X Griffin 1.2L Petrol · SY70 VMK

The September 2025 MOT confirms the Vauxhall Crossland X Griffin remains roadworthy, with no failure recorded; however, the test noted worn near‑side and off‑side front brake discs and perished outer‑edge tyres, indicating ongoing brake and tyre wear rather than a sudden structural fault. The vehicle therefore shows a stable maintenance trend, with recurring brake issues but no escalating defects. Mileage recorded at 19,977 miles in September 2025 reflects an average annual increase of roughly 3,330 miles since the vehicle’s 2020 manufacture, but the jump from 12,709 miles in September 2023 to 16,348 miles in September 2024 shows a faster usage rate of about 3,639 miles per year, indicating a shift from light to moderate use. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, inspect the service brake calipers for binding, measure the thickness of the front and rear brake discs and the remaining pad material, and check the condition of the tyres for cracking or uneven wear. Particular attention must also be given to the structural integrity of the chassis and the repair status of the central front exhaust mounting defect noted in the 2024 test. Overall, the vehicle’s maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring brake and tyre issues rather than progressive structural failure, so a thorough in‑person inspection of the braking system, suspension components, and chassis integrity is essential before committing to purchase.
