2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · FY68 AEK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 18 November 2025 at 77,989 miles. While the car passed with no recorded defects, the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both May and November of 2025. This suggests that the previous owner or operator addressed specific minor issues immediately after they were flagged to ensure legal compliance, rather than allowing a trend of worsening mechanical degradation. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,750 miles per annum. Data shows a clear interval of 3,200 miles between the December 2024 test at 70,771 miles and the May 2025 test at 74,571 miles, followed by another 3,418 miles before the November 2025 test. This regularity indicates the vehicle is used consistently, which generally prevents the seal and component degradation associated with long periods of standing. Because the MOT records show no recurring structural corrosion or persistent mechanical failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumable components that wear at the 80,000-mile mark. Prioritize checking the condition of the suspension bushes and the thickness of the brake discs, as these often show significant wear at this stage. Given the recent failures in 2025, verify that any repairs made prior to those tests were permanent rather than temporary fixes to pass the inspection.
