Crossland X Griffin Turbo Auto: a strong MOT record by UK norms
Across 513 MOT tests, the Crossland X Griffin Turbo Auto returns 90.1% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a tyre with the cords showing. A seriously damaged tyre and an excessively worn brake disc round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 18,478, 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.
