2022 Vauxhall Crossland Design Turbo 1.2L Petrol · YG22 BAA

The 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine in the Crossland typically returns around 45-50 mpg in mixed driving, though low-mileage urban use could push this higher. Road tax is minimal thanks to Euro 6AP compliance — expect around £170-£190 per year. Insurance falls into group 12-15 for this model, keeping premiums reasonable for a small crossover. Servicing intervals are every 12,500 miles or annually, with minor services around £150-£200 and major services £250-£350 at independent garages. Given the low mileage, annual running costs should be modest — budget roughly £800-£1,000 covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.

Start with the brake discs: the 2026 advisory flagged pitting on the front inner faces and scoring on the rears at only 4,129 miles, which is unusually early for disc wear. Jack the car up and inspect disc thickness and surface condition — pitted discs may need machining or replacement if they fall below minimum thickness. Next, examine all four tyres carefully for cracking, perishing, and tread depth; the offside rear was flagged in 2025, and original 2022 tyres on a 2022 car should still have legal tread but may be hardened with age. Check for uneven wear patterns which could indicate alignment or suspension issues despite low mileage.

Verify the washer system works properly and that all jets are clear — the 2025 failure was for insufficient washer fluid, which is trivial, but make sure the pump and jets function. Inspect under the bonnet for any signs of long-term storage issues: oil condition, coolant colour, battery health, and any rodent damage to wiring or hoses. Finally, test all electrical systems including climate control, infotainment, and central locking, as Crossland electronics can occasionally develop faults with age rather than use.
