Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Vauxhall Crossland X Griffin Owners
These checks follow this Vauxhall Crossland X Griffin's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Vauxhall Crossland X Griffin.
-
the brakes — “brake discs significantly and obviously worn”
Look through the spokes of each wheel at the pad — less than 3mm of friction material, or a lip on the disc edge, is the usual failure. Check the handbrake holds on a slope with a few clicks, not at the top of its travel.
-
the windscreen — “windscreen damaged”
Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.
-
the exhaust and emissions — “exhaust system system insecure”
Listen for a blow at idle and have someone rev it gently. Then look at the tailpipe smoke: blue is oil, white when warm is coolant, black is over-fuelling. Any of those and the emissions test is the least of it.
