2019 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · CF19 HKB

The 2019 Vauxhall Grandland presents a stable but mechanically active maintenance profile as of its most recent MOT on 23 July 2025 at 55,928 miles. The vehicle passed that test, yet the record reveals a pattern of recurring front brake disc wear and a nearside front CV boot failure that was rectified within two days. This suggests attentive short-term repairs rather than chronic neglect, though the persistent brake disc advisories indicate a harder-than-average use cycle or a driving style that accelerates disc wear. The overall trend is one of controlled deterioration rather than systemic decline. The mileage accumulation of roughly 7,990 miles per year is entirely typical for a seven-year-old vehicle, and the annual test intervals show consistent use without prolonged standing periods. The jump from 47,211 miles in July 2024 to 55,928 miles in July 2025 represents an 8,717-mile year, slightly above the long-term average but not alarming. The record is clean and well-documented with no gaps, giving confidence that the odometer reading is genuine and the vehicle has been in regular service. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front braking system. The tester flagged worn and pitted front brake discs in both the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, and the 2025 advisory specifically noted scoring. This recurring condition points to either aggressive braking habits, poor-quality replacement discs, or a caliper issue causing uneven pad contact. Inspect the disc faces for deep scoring, lipping, and minimum thickness, and check the caliper slides and pistons for binding. The nearside front CV boot was split at the July 2021 failure but was clearly replaced before the 2023 pass, so examine that joint for play, clicking on full lock, and any fresh grease contamination that might indicate a recent repair rather than a durable fix. Beyond the front axle, the 2022 advisory for a bald inner edge on the offside front tyre hints at possible tracking or suspension geometry wear. Check the inner shoulders of all four tyres for uneven wear and inspect the front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and wishbone joints for play. The vehicle has now covered nearly 56,000 miles, so expect consumable items like brake pads, discs, and tyres to be near replacement. There are no structural corrosion or emissions failures on record, which is encouraging, but a thorough underbody inspection for rust on subframes, suspension mounting points, and exhaust mounting brackets remains prudent at this age and mileage.
