2019 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · CF19 HKE

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred mechanical repairs. While it passed its latest test in May 2026 at 56,919 miles, the tester flagged thin rear brake pads and a noisy nearside front wheel bearing. The wheel bearing issue first appeared during the May 2025 test at 46,183 miles, indicating that the component was not replaced despite repeated warnings. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 10,800 miles between 2025 and 2026. This regularity suggests typical use rather than long periods of standing, though the failure to address the wheel bearing across two annual tests suggests the owner only performed the minimum maintenance required to avoid an MOT-specific failure. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the nearside front wheel bearing, as the persistent noise over two years indicates imminent failure of the assembly. The thin rear brake pads noted in the 2026 record also require immediate attention to prevent damage to the rotors. Additionally, the uneven wear on the nearside rear tyre recorded in 2025 warrants a check for alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that could be causing premature wear on new tyres.
