2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · AF18 LYY

The Vauxhall Grandland presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 September 2025 at 70,884 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 10 October 2024 at 60,867 miles confirms no advisories or mechanical faults carried forward. The vehicle shows no worsening pattern across its five-year MOT span. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,860 miles per year against the 70,884 miles recorded. The records trace steady use: 42,738 miles on 21 October 2022, 48,279 miles on 16 October 2023, then 60,866 miles at the 8 October 2024 failure and 60,867 miles two days later on the pass. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear. The only anomaly is the 8 October 2024 failure at 60,866 miles, which logged no defects; this points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the owner corrected it within 48 hours. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions throughout the history, the buyer faces low projected risk from prior neglect. The clean sheet across every test suggests previous owners kept basic consumable wear in check. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody structural integrity in person, since MOT passes do not catalogue minor wear. The 2024 double-entry with a defect-free failure warrants a check of the V5C and test certificate to verify no omitted fault. Beyond that, the Grandland requires only standard servicing for its mileage.
