According to forum member John F (who's other half has a Puretech engined Peugeot 2008 which is older than your Dad's car), 2019 on Puretech engines are fine. And i'm assuming your Dad has had no trouble with his 20 plate car?

I'd be tempted to replace like for like. The Crossland X is very good value on account of the Vauxhall brand not being considered very desirable, nor does it look trendy, like the new Mokka!.

Failing that, Suzuki Vitara.

I'd also suggest Toyota Yaris Cross, but i think you'd need £16k+ to get into one (excluding high miles or ins. write offs). And they are all auto.

Hi all My Dad is looking to replace his 20 plate Vauxhall Crossland X with something similar in size.

Why? How many miles per annum does it do?

I'm aware of the wet belt issues with the car

Are you aware that a post 2018 car is unlikely to have a 'wet belt issue' if the right oil has been used? The 'issues' were caused by the early DAYCO crumbly belts which were of poor quality and so unfit for purpose, compounded by the probable occasional use of cheap unsuitable oil at oil change time.

Because of this perceived problem and that the Crossland is somewhat unfashionable, he is likely to get a low price for it - and pay top dollar for a replacement.
