Vauxhall Crossland recalls

13 DVSA safety recalls launched from 1992 to October 2026 name the Vauxhall Crossland. The 8 most recent are below. Each covers vehicles built in a set period, so a recall does not mean every Crossland is affected.

Vauxhall Crossland FAQs

How many Vauxhall Crosslands are there in the UK?

86,267 Vauxhall Crosslands were licensed in the UK at the end of June 2026, with a further 672 declared off the road (SORN), according to DfT vehicle licensing statistics.

Is the Vauxhall Crossland reliable?

MOT data does not measure reliability. It records whether a car met the roadworthiness standard on the day of its test. What it does show is an 84.2% first-time pass rate for the Vauxhall Crossland across 79,340 tests in 2025, above the 72.3% average for all cars.

Has the Vauxhall Crossland had any recalls?

13 DVSA safety recalls launched from 1992 to October 2026 name the Vauxhall Crossland. The most recent was published in August 2025. A recall applies to vehicles built in a set period, so check a specific car on the GOV.UK vehicle recall checker.

What should I check before buying a used Vauxhall Crossland?

On the car itself, start with the areas it most often fails on: brakes, tyres and body, chassis, structure. Then check the individual car's own records. Outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and police stolen markers are not part of the MOT record, so they take a history check.

How do I check a Vauxhall Crossland's history?

Enter the registration of the specific car. A Carpeep car history check reports outstanding finance, write-off category, stolen markers, mileage history, previous keepers, MOT and tax status, import and export markers and scrapped status in one £15 report.

MOT figures are aggregated from the DVSA MOT Anonymised data set for 2025 (class 4 initial tests, retests excluded), which also gives the engine sizes. Licensed, SORN, fuel and registration figures are from the Department for Transport vehicle licensing statistics (VEH0120, VEH0124, VEH0160). Recalls are from the DVSA vehicle recalls data, with recalls launched up to October 2026. Government data is used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. MOT results describe roadworthiness at test, not mechanical reliability. History-check findings are anonymous counts from reports bought on Carpeep, each vehicle counted once, and are published only where at least 100 vehicles returned an answer.
