2018 VAUXHALL GRANDLAND1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT on 25 November 2025 at 64,445 miles showing a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows two consecutive years of clean passes in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that previous mechanical or consumable issues have been effectively addressed. The transition from minor failures and advisories in earlier years to a defect-free status indicates a positive trend in vehicle upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 35,217 miles in November 2021 to 64,445 miles in late 2025. There are no signs of erratic driving patterns or long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding seized components or fluid degradation often found in low-mileage vehicles that sit idle. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and rear suspension components. The November 2021 test flagged thin rear brake pads, pitted rear discs, and binding service brakes. While the recent history shows no recurring brake issues, a manual check of the rear calipers and discs for uneven wear or scoring remains prudent. The 2022 test also noted a defective rear exhaust mounting, so verifying the security of the exhaust system and its hangers is advisable. Finally, the 2022 advisories regarding tyre wear on the offside front and both rear tyres suggest that consumable maintenance was occasionally deferred. Although the recent tests show no tyre issues, the buyer should inspect the current tread depth and evenness of wear across all four tyres to ensure the alignment and suspension bushes are performing correctly. The 2023 failure for a non-functional windscreen washer was a minor electrical/fluid issue that appears to have been resolved.
