Is the Vauxhall Crossland reliable?

The Vauxhall Crossland scores 78/100 on Forecourt's MOT-based reliability measure, ahead of 63% of the cars we track. That score uses first-MOT pass rate and defect rate for cars registered 2018 onward (88,777 first tests), with cohort survival — high confidence.

How much does a used Vauxhall Crossland cost?

A 2023 Vauxhall Crossland with around 21,621 miles is worth roughly £11,700 today (typical range £10,550–£12,850). Dealer forecourt prices sit higher and part-exchange offers lower; newer or lower-mileage examples cost more.

How quickly does the Vauxhall Crossland depreciate?

A new Vauxhall Crossland typically loses about 44% of its value over the first three years, then depreciates more slowly. Buying at three to five years old avoids the steepest part of the curve.

What insurance group is the Vauxhall Crossland?

The Vauxhall Crossland sits in insurance group 16 of 50 — the middle of the scale. Exact premiums depend on the trim (some versions sit a few groups higher or lower), your age, postcode and no-claims history.

What goes wrong on a used Vauxhall Crossland?

The parts most often recorded at MOT on the Vauxhall Crossland are: tyres & wheels (typically around over 100k miles, £80-£500 to put right); brakes (typically around over 100k miles, £150-£500 to put right); emissions (typically around over 100k miles, £150-£800 to put right). A full service history and a recent MOT with no advisories are the best protection.

What does the Vauxhall Crossland cost to run?

Expect around 46 mpg combined on the 1.2 Turbo 130 Elite, £200 a year in road tax, about £185 for a standard annual service. The full cost-of-ownership table above breaks this down per year and per mile for the exact year and mileage you choose.

Is the Vauxhall Crossland ULEZ compliant?

Whether a Vauxhall Crossland is ULEZ compliant depends on its engine and registration date: petrol from 2006 and diesel from September 2015 generally qualify, and electric versions are always exempt.

How many Vauxhall Crosslands are on UK roads?

About 86,552 Vauxhall Crosslands are currently taxed and on the road in the UK, from DfT vehicle-licensing data.

Vauxhall Crossland

The Vauxhall Crossland is a tall, practical small SUV/crossover that prioritises interior space and easy access over driving polish or off-road ability (it's front-wheel drive only). Mostly small turbo petrol. Cross-shop the sportier Vauxhall Mokka, the Citroen C3 Aircross, Ford Puma and Nissan Juke.

How these figures are sourced — the valuation is anchored to a researched used-market price for this model (AutoTrader median, 2023 at 30k miles). Reliability, mileage and variant data are real DVSA MOT records. Dimensions, tyre sizes and costs, servicing figures and the insurance group are segment-level estimates rather than sourced per car, and are being replaced model by model.

A 3-year-old Crossland passes its MOT 89.9% of the time; by 9 years that has slipped to 75.3%. The y-axis is zoomed to this model’s range so the trend is readable.

Each point is one registration cohort. Older cars on the left, newer on the right. A flatter line means the model holds up over time; a steep drop means cohorts disappear from UK roads faster.

02Stellantis/PSA small petrols - check service history; the wet-belt PureTech needs up-to-date maintenance.
03Front-wheel drive only despite the SUV looks - it's a raised supermini in character.

Safety recalls

Manufacturers occasionally issue safety recalls to fix a fault free of charge. You can check whether the Vauxhall Crossland, or your exact vehicle, has any outstanding recalls on the official DVSA service.

Check on GOV.UK

Opens the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency recall checker. Choose the make, model and year of manufacture — no registration needed.

Theft risk

A general indicator from UK 2025 theft data and this car’s characteristics — not a prediction for any one vehicle.

Whole-car theft

Higher

Desirable SUVs like this are relay-theft targets — keyless entry can be exploited from the driveway in under a minute.

Parts theft

Around average

Parts-theft risk is around average — catalytic-converter theft is the main thing to be aware of on any petrol or diesel car.

Worth doing

Keep keys in a Faraday pouch and away from the front door to block relay attacks.
A visible steering lock is a cheap, strong deterrent on a frequently-targeted car.

Clean-air zones

Whether driving a Vauxhall Crossland into a UK clean-air zone will cost you anything. Rules use the same Euro standard across most zones — petrol from 2006 and diesel from 2015 onwards are exempt; pure electric is always exempt.

Charging zones for cars

City	Area	Daily charge	Likely outcome
London	All of Greater London (within the M25)	£12.50	Likely exempt Diesel from September 2015 meets Euro 6.

Servicing & the dealer network

How well-supported Vauxhall is across the UK — a practical read on how easy servicing, parts and warranty work will be to find.

Franchised UK dealers

Large network

Mass-market

Network size relative to the UK's largest (Vauxhall is 4.3% of all franchised outlets)

Servicing, parts and warranty work are easy to find UK-wide, and most independent garages know the brand well — which keeps maintenance competitive.

For context, the UK has roughly 4,500 franchised car-dealer outlets in total, plus about 15,500 independent garages.

Approximate figures, curated from public UK industry sources (NFDA, Car Dealer Magazine). Franchised networks shrink year on year — these indicate network size, not an exact count.
