Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this specific white Grandland Elite, prioritize a physical inspection of the tyres. The 2025 MOT failure specifically highlighted structural issues like bulges and deep cuts on the nearside rear and both front tyres; ensure any replacements currently fitted are of high quality and have sufficient tread depth.
Negotiate based on the most recent MOT findings. The August 2026 test identified a defective rear exhaust mounting and corroded rear brake discs. While these are common wear items, they represent immediate or upcoming maintenance costs that should be factored into your offer. Ask for evidence of any work carried out to rectify these specific issues following the August test.
With a 1.2L (1199cc) petrol engine, this Grandland is designed for relatively efficient running compared to larger SUVs. You can expect moderate fuel economy suitable for mixed driving, though actual figures will depend on your driving style and load.
As a 2022 model, it meets Euro 6 standards, making it ULEZ/CAZ compliant. Tax and insurance groups for this 1.2L turbo variant are generally mid-range for the SUV segment. Expect annual maintenance costs to include regular servicing and, as indicated by recent MOT advisories, periodic attention to braking components and exhaust fittings.
Pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle. The August 2026 MOT record specifically flagged a defective rear exhaust mounting and corrosion on the rear brake discs; check that the exhaust system is secure and that the discs do not show excessive pitting or uneven wear.
Given the 2025 failure involving structural tyre damage (bulges and ply-reaching cuts), inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for any signs of impact damage or bulging. Additionally, check the condition of the suspension components, as the high mileage relative to its age (averaging over 12,000 miles per year vs the model average of 6,627) may lead to faster wear on bushings and dampers.
This 2022 Vauxhall Grandland Elite Turbo has covered 48,919 miles since its first registration in March 2022. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a significant failure in March 2025 due to multiple tyre defects and a more recent pass in August 2026 that noted corrosion on rear brake discs and a defective exhaust mounting. The mileage is notably higher than the model average of 6,627 miles per year.
Aggregate data from 771 analysed vehicles shows a 90.2% average MOT pass rate for this model, with tyres and windscreen washer issues being common failure points.
