2021 Vauxhall Crossland X Elite NAV Turbo A 1.2L Petrol · YA70 WMT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern regarding mechanical components and consumable items. The most recent test on May 7 2026 at 28,673 miles indicated a pass despite a damaged offside front valve stem and slight play in the nearside rear wheel bearing. This wheel bearing issue is a recurring defect noted in the previous year's test, suggesting that the component was not replaced or repaired despite being flagged previously. At 28,673 miles over five years, the vehicle has covered a low mileage, averaging approximately 5,735 miles annually. While low mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components. Between the May 2024 test at 17,121 miles and the May 2025 test at 23,134 miles, the car covered over 6,000 miles, which resulted in multiple failures related to tyre condition and wear in the subsequent inspection. A buyer must perform a physical inspection of the nearside rear wheel bearing to ensure the play has not progressed to a point of imminent failure. The history of perishing and cracking tyres in the 2025 test suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can cause dry rot regardless of tread depth. Pay close attention to all tyre sidewalls for hairline fractures and verify the offside front valve stem has been replaced to prevent slow pressure loss.
