2018 VAUXHALL GRANDLAND1.5L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-03 at 82,634 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2026-03-02 at 82,632 miles showed a failure with no recorded defects. This inconsistency suggests a possible administrative error or minor technical issue resolved rapidly. Previous tests from 2025-02-08 (74,984 miles) and 2024-02-03 (61,777 miles) were both passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record until the recent anomalies. The absence of structural or mechanical failures in prior tests implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the abrupt failure and subsequent pass warrant scrutiny. Mileage progression shows a steady increase, with 61,712 miles recorded in 2024 and 82,634 miles in 2026, aligning with an average of ~10,329 miles annually. Notably, the 2024-02-01 failure at 61,712 miles was followed by a pass just 65 miles later, suggesting a transient issue likely addressed before the next test. The 2026-03-02 failure occurred 2 miles before the subsequent pass, raising questions about the accuracy of the records. Overall, the mileage pattern reflects consistent usage without significant gaps or rapid accumulation, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits deeper analysis of wear trends. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear given the vehicle’s age. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop over time. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and underbody, merits attention to identify corrosion or damage. While the MOT history lacks specific faults, the recent failed tests—despite no recorded defects—highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition and resolve any discrepancies in the testing records.
