Vauxhall Crossland
Registered from 2017 to 2022.
About this model
The Opel Crossland is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) marketed by Opel from 2017 to 2024, after having been unveiled to the media in January 2017. The car was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2017, and was originally known as the Opel and Vauxhall Crossland X. It went on sale in the summer of 2017 and was marketed as the Vauxhall Crossland in the United Kingdom. The Opel Meriva was discontinued simultaneously with the introduction of the Crossland, as demand for crossovers and SUVs in the B-segment was growing at the expense of compact MPVs.

What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2019 1.2 petrol. 1,265 of 14,784 tests failed, 9%.
Better than 54% of 2019 cars. The typical one fails 9%, across 908 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Tyres and wheels | 41% | 514 |
| Brakes | 39% | 499 |
| Body and structure | 16% | 203 |
| Lights and electrics | 8% | 95 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 6% | 80 |
| Visibility | 5% | 66 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- A tyre seriously damaged
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- Brake disc or drum significantly and obviously worn
- Exhaust system leaking or insecure
- A tyre cords visible or damaged
Where it stands out against its peers
- Brakes: failed more often than 93% of 2019 cars — 39% of its 1,265 failed tests, where an ordinary 2019 car has 19%.
- Body and structure: failed more often than 96% of 2019 cars — 16% of its 1,265 failed tests, where an ordinary 2019 car has 2%.
Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
NHTSA's investigations are American; no European regulator publishes an equivalent record, so this section has nothing to draw on for a European car. There is no European equivalent of the service-bulletin register either.

When it starts failing
At 80–100k miles this one fails 13% of its inspections, against the 14% an ordinary car of the same age fails.
| Odometer | Failure rate | Rate | Its age | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–20k miles | 5% | 5% | 5,084 | |
| 20–40k miles | 10% | 9% | 7,816 | |

14,776 British inspections, grouped by the odometer reading recorded at the test.
Half of these have more than 20k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.
