2021 Vauxhall Grandland X SE Premium Turbo 1.2L Petrol · YG21 FCW

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a previously clean maintenance record. While the car passed its tests in June and December 2024 without any defects, the December 2025 test at 36,468 miles identified specific mechanical issues. The tester flagged both the nearside and offside rear brake discs for pitting and scoring alongside a missing offside front brake caliper retaining clip. This suggests a decline in preventative maintenance regarding braking hardware after a period of flawless operation. The mileage profile is consistent with a typical low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of 3,873 miles between June 2024 and December 2024, followed by another 4,540 miles in the following year. This low annual mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it can also contribute to the surface corrosion observed on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods or driven without vigorous braking. A buyer should prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the braking system during an in-person evaluation. The pitting and scoring on the rear discs noted in December 2025 indicate that the metal surfaces have degraded, likely requiring replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance and prevent noise. The missing front caliper retaining clip is a hardware deficiency that must be addressed to prevent caliper movement and uneven pad wear. Given the lack of structural or suspension advisories in the history, the primary focus remains on these consumable components and the overall state of the braking assembly.
