2022 Vauxhall Grandland Ultimate Turbo 1.2L Petrol · AJ71 ACK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The most recent test on 18 November 2025 at 45,874 miles resulted in an initial failure due to critical tyre wear and thinning brake pads. While the vehicle passed the re-test on the same day, the failure highlights that the previous owner waited until the MOT deadline to address essential safety components rather than replacing them during scheduled intervals. At 45,874 miles over a four-year period, the Grandland averages approximately 11,468 miles per year. This figure aligns closely with typical national averages for a family SUV, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive long-distance commuting. The gap between the 2025 test and the current date shows a consistent usage pattern, though the specific faults noted in November suggest that components are reaching the end of their service life at this mileage. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the wheel alignment, as the 2025 record noted both the nearside and offside rear tyres were worn on the edge. This pattern of uneven wear alongside bald tyres often points to incorrect camber settings or worn suspension bushings that were not addressed during the MOT. You should verify the remaining life of the front brake pads, as the tester flagged thin pads in November, indicating they may require replacement shortly depending on the driving performed since the last test.
