2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · FY68 ACU

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical record. The most recent MOT on 28 March 2026 at 49,752 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test nine days prior on 19 March 2026, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, which suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for an eight year old vehicle. It has covered roughly 6,219 miles per year on average. A notable increase in usage occurred between February 2024 and March 2025, where the odometer rose from 23,325 to 44,168 miles. This period of higher activity did not result in any new advisories or failures, indicating the car handled the increased load without immediate mechanical degradation. The absence of any recorded advisories across five years of testing is unusual and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. There are no recurring trends regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The record shows no history of structural integrity issues or failures related to consumable wear such as tyre tread or wiper blades. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that MOT testers sometimes overlook if they are not yet at a legal limit. Check the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads to ensure they have not been left to deteriorate since the March 2026 test. Verify the service history to confirm that oil changes and filter replacements align with the mileage jumps seen in 2024 and 2025.
