2018 VAUXHALL GRANDLAND1.5L Diesel

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 28 August 2025 at 67,835 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test on the same day at 67,829 miles, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor rectification that was resolved immediately. The absence of any advisories across multiple years indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for an eight year old car. It covered 12,132 miles between the November 2022 test at 37,700 miles and the November 2023 test at 49,855 miles, showing a period of higher activity. This slowed slightly to 7,282 miles by September 2024 and further to 10,698 miles by August 2025. There are no erratic jumps or suspicious drops in the odometer readings to suggest clocking or prolonged periods of standing. The lack of recurring faults in the DVSA record simplifies the pre-purchase inspection. No issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs have been flagged, nor is there any mention of corrosion or exhaust emissions failures. This suggests the previous owner did not neglect basic upkeep or ignore warning signs. A physical inspection should focus on general wear and tear not captured by the MOT. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads to ensure they have not reached their limit since the August 2025 test. Inspect the chassis and wheel arches for any surface rust that may not yet be structural. Given the clean history, the mechanical risk appears low.
