VAUXHALL GRANDLAND X ELITE NAV T D A2021 · 1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in April 2026 resulted in a pass following an immediate failure due to ineffective windscreen wipers. While the vehicle currently shows no active defects, the trend of failing on two of the last three tests suggests that minor external components are only addressed once they reach the point of an inspection failure. At 65,289 miles over five years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 13,000 miles per year. This is slightly above the UK average for a petrol vehicle, suggesting consistent road use, likely involving motorway commuting. The mileage accumulation is steady, with an 11,400-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 10,800 miles leading up to the most recention. This consistent usage implies standard to high wear on the braking system and suspension components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and wheel alignment, as the 2025 failure highlighted significant tyre conditioning issues, including exposed cords on the offside front and uneven wear on the nearside. These symptoms often point to misaligned geometry or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, the condition of the windscreen wiper motors and blades should be verified to ensure the recent failure was fully rectified with quality parts. The presence of under trays noted in 2025 is a positive factor for underbody protection, but the brakes and pads should be checked for uneven wear given the previous tyre-related issues.
