2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · CA68 RWK

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing an improving maintenance trend following a period of neglect. The most recent test in September 2025 at 65,305 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the previous owner addressed the mechanical deficiencies identified in the prior year. While the 2024 failure highlighted lapses, the subsequent clean record suggests the vehicle was brought back to operational standards. The recorded mileage of 65,305 miles over eight years reflects an average usage of approximately 8,163 miles per annum. This aligns closely with typical national averages for a modern family SUV. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 8,500 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 9,500 miles in the year preceding that. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used steadily rather than sitting for long periods, which generally prevents the premature degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A physical inspection should focus on the braking and suspension systems given their historical recurring faults. The 2022 and 2023 tests flagged pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs, along with a grabbing rear caliper. A buyer should check for uneven pad wear or heat tintring to ensure the braking system is performing optimally. Additionally, the 2024 failure regarding a worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage indicates that suspension components are prone to wear. The inspector should check for play in the ball joints and bushes to ensure the repairs made after that failure have held. The 2024 record also noted tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edges, which often points to past alignment issues. While the 2025 test passed without comment, the tread depth and evenness of current tyres should be verified manually. There are no records of structural corrosion or significant advisories in the history, which is a positive indicator for the integrity of the chassis. The overall history reflects a vehicle that has undergone reactive maintenance but is currently in a stable condition.
