2019 Vauxhall Grandland X SRI NAV Turbo 1.2L Petrol · BN69 EFL

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition following a clean MOT pass in May 2026 at 45,634 miles. This recent result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as all previous defects and advisories from prior years appear to have been rectified. While the 2024 failure was significant, the lack of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests the current owner has addressed the mechanical and consumable issues previously flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a steady progression of usage, with 8,346 miles recorded between the May 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 5,497 miles added between May 2024 and May 2025. This relatively low-annual mileage suggests the car has seen light use, which typically results in less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. A prospective buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front drive shaft CV boot, which was noted as severely deteriorated in May 2025 at 40,135 miles. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test, these boots are prone to tearing which can lead to premature joint failure if not monitored and replaced. Additionally, the rear brake system should be checked for even wear. The 2024 failure highlighted binding calipers and significantly worn inner faces on the brake discs, indicating the rear components may suffer from heat corrosion or neglect, necessitating a verification that the replacements were performed correctly.
