The picture
Crossland Elite Nav: a strong MOT record by UK norms
Across 1,302 MOT tests, the Crossland Elite Nav returns 85.0% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is an excessively worn brake disc. Brake pads worn below 1.5 mm and a seriously damaged tyre round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 38,299, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.

Buying or keeping a Crossland Elite Nav?
Use the failure ranking as a pre-test checklist or a haggling lever. Treat the headline pass rate as a fleet-wide trend, not a guarantee on any individual car.
If you own a Crossland Elite Nav and your last MOT looked nothing like the ranked failures above, that's normal — individual cars vary widely. The ranking shows the patterns testers flag most often across the country.
