Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage diesel crossover. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no recorded defects or advisories across three consecutive tests.
When viewing this specific black Grandland X, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the 1.5L diesel engine has received regular oil changes, which is critical for turbocharger longevity. Since the MOT history shows no mechanical defects, ask the seller for evidence of scheduled maintenance that falls outside the scope of the MOT test.
Negotiate based on the service intervals rather than the MOT record alone. While the MOT is clean, it does not confirm if the vehicle has been serviced according to Vauxhall's manufacturer recommendations. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or brake pad depletion, as these are common maintenance items that wouldn't necessarily trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical limit.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Grandland X is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer motorway journeys. You can expect competitive fuel economy, though actual costs will depend on your driving style and load.
Tax and insurance groups for the Griffin trim are typically mid-range for this segment. Annual running costs will be influenced by the diesel engine's maintenance needs, such as AdBlue refills and DPF considerations. For a vehicle of this age and mileage, expect an estimated annual budget to cover fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Given the clean MOT history, there are no specific previous failure patterns to investigate on this particular vehicle. However, for this model, you should inspect the condition of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) system and ensure the engine runs smoothly without excessive vibration or smoke.
Check the electronic components and infotainment system, as these are common areas for consumer queries in modern crossovers. Additionally, inspect the exterior black paintwork for any significant stone chipping or scratches that might have been missed during previous inspections, and ensure all LED lighting elements are functioning correctly.
This 2020 Vauxhall Grandland X Griffin Turbo D shows signs of significantly lower-than-average usage, with 27,177 miles recorded in its most recent MOT compared to the model average of 12,000 miles per year. The vehicle has maintained a perfect MOT pass record since its first test in 2023, showing no defects at 14,109, 20,713, and 27,177 miles. For a diesel engine, this usage pattern suggests it has been driven enough to avoid some of the common issues associated with short-trip urban driving.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 89.1% MOT pass rate across 177 analysed vehicles, suggesting a generally reliable platform.
