2019 Vauxhall Crossland 1.2L Petrol · YG19 AFK

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred attention to rubber and metal components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 33,688 miles flagged a multitude of advisories including a defective front exhaust mounting and perishing tyres on all four wheels. While the vehicle consistently passes, the accumulation of minor faults across consecutive years suggests a pattern of the owner only addressing issues when they reach an MOT threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 12,296 miles and the March 2026 test at 33,688 miles, the car covered roughly 21,400 miles. This low usage explains the recurring issues with dry-rot and tyre cracking and wiper wipers, as rubber components degrade over time when the vehicle sits for long periods, leading to surface oxidation and structural brittleness despite low tread depth. A buyer must conduct a close-range inspection of the suspension and braking system. The offside rear coil spring has been flagged for corrosion since at least 2025, and the 2026 report of a defective exhaust mounting indicates structural rust beginning to progress. The rear brake discs have been noted as pitted and scored for three consecutive years, indicating the vehicle has not been driven enough to keep the rotors clean of surface oxidation. Furthermore, the perishing of all tyres is an immediate safety concern as the age of the rubber has likely compromised its grip regardless of the remaining tread.
