Vauxhall Crossland (2018)
2018 Vauxhall Crossland
CarHunch analysed 12,520 real MOT records for the 2018 Vauxhall Crossland. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2018 Vauxhall Crossland passes its MOT more often than average—87% first-time pass rate versus the UK's 80%—which suggests decent overall reliability. However, nearly 22% of these vehicles have recorded dangerous defects at some point, a notably high figure that warrants a pre-purchase inspection focused on structural and safety components.
These cars have covered a modest 31,890 miles at median, which is typical for their age, and they average fewer than one failure per test cycle. The high advisory count of 7.5 per vehicle points to minor wear items and maintenance niggles rather than serious faults, so budget for regular servicing and consumables. Before committing to a used example, always request the full MOT history and have a mechanic check the brake system and suspension—the usual culprits in the advisory data.
What to check before buying a 2018 Vauxhall Crossland
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 21.7% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
