2020 Vauxhall Grandland X SE Turbo D 1.5L Diesel · BK20 VDM

Based on the supplied DVSA MOT history, the 2020 Vauxhall Grandland X presents a sparse but currently clean roadworthiness record. The most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 44,061 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, and the previous test on 15 August 2024 was similarly clean. With only three recorded tests over a five-year span, the data is too limited to confidently characterise a maintenance trend as improving, worsening, or stable; however, the absence of advisories in the latest two passes is a positive neutral indicator rather than evidence of underlying mechanical condition. The mileage pattern is broadly consistent with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle of this class. Recorded tests on 1 August 2023, 15 August 2024 (failed and immediately re-tested and passed), and 26 August 2025 imply a running total of 44,061 miles, equating to roughly 7,000–8,000 miles annually. No suspicious gaps or sudden mileage jumps are evident from the available entries, though a buyer should verify the odometer against the V5C document and any service invoices to confirm continuity. The duplication of the 15 August 2024 date, with one failure followed by an immediate pass and zero defects recorded on both, suggests a minor administrative or technical issue at the station was corrected on the same day, rather than a significant mechanical repair. Because the MOT history contains no flagged component failures, advisories for corrosion, brake binding, suspension wear, or exhaust integrity, a physical inspection must compensate for this absence of data. A prospective buyer should closely examine the front and rear brake discs and pads for lipping or wear, as diesel Grandland X models are known for rear caliper slider seizure. The coil springs, suspension bushes, and anti-roll bar links should be inspected for cracking or splitting, given the vehicle's age and kerb weight. A thorough check underneath for structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounting points, is essential, alongside verification of tyre age via DOT markings, as MOT records do not always capture uneven or aged sidewall rubber. Finally, confirming the timing belt or chain service interval for the 1.5 Turbo D engine has been observed is prudent, as MOT testing does not cover internal engine maintenance.
