Vauxhall Crossland

Compact crossover SUV · 2017 to 2024

The Vauxhall Crossland is a compact crossover that arrived in the UK in 2017 as the Crossland X, sharing underpinnings with the Peugeot 2008 and Citroen C3 Aircross following Vauxhall's takeover by the PSA Group. It slotted below the Mokka in Vauxhall's SUV range, offering a practical, raised-ride-height alternative to the Astra for family buyers. A 2020 facelift dropped the 'X' from its name, brought revised styling and simplified the engine line-up. Power came from 1.2-litre turbo petrol engines in various outputs, with a 1.5-litre diesel offered in earlier models before being phased out. There was no hybrid or electric Crossland. Trim levels ranged from entry-level SE to higher-spec Elite and SRi Nav variants, with practicality, a tall driving position and a sliding rear bench among its selling points in the used market.

Things to check at MOT

Below are common inspection items that owners and technicians often pay attention to on the Vauxhall Crossland. These align with standard DVSA MOT criteria. Every individual vehicle is different, and the MOT history of a specific car can be checked on gov.uk using its registration plate.

Front suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links, which can wear and cause knocking noises over time
Timing belt or chain condition on petrol engines, as service history should confirm replacement intervals
Diesel particulate filter health on diesel models, especially if used mainly for short urban journeys
Tyre wear patterns, checking for uneven wear linked to alignment issues from the raised ride height
Electrical faults with the touchscreen infotainment, dashboard warning lights or parking sensors

Frequently asked questions

Is the Vauxhall Crossland a reliable used buy?

Reliability varies by age, mileage and how well the car has been maintained. Rather than relying on general reputation, check the free MOT history on the official DVSA website to see the car's actual test results, advisories and mileage pattern over time.

What common MOT failures affect the Crossland?

Like many compact crossovers, typical issues include worn suspension components, tyre condition related to the higher ride height, and emissions-related faults on diesel versions. Checking the vehicle's MOT history online will show if these have come up before.

Does the Vauxhall Crossland have a diesel option?

Early Crossland X models offered a 1.5-litre diesel engine, but this was dropped from the range in later years as Vauxhall focused the line-up on petrol engines only.

Is the Crossland still available new in the UK?

No, production of the Vauxhall Crossland ended, so it's now only available as a used car. Buyers should check tax status and MOT history via gov.uk before purchase.
