Crossland X Griffin Turbo: a strong MOT record by UK norms
Across 2,441 MOT tests, the Crossland X Griffin Turbo returns 88.3% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a seriously damaged tyre. Brake pads worn below 1.5 mm and a tyre with the cords showing round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 23,888, 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.
