2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · CY68 AFX

The 2018 Vauxhall Grandland presents a roadworthy condition overall, with the most recent MOT on 2025-11-11 confirming no defects at 59,295 miles. However, the pattern of repeated failures in 2025 and 2023—despite no recorded defects—suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or administrative errors. The lack of specific mechanical issues in the latest test indicates stability, but the prior failures raise questions about the vehicle’s maintenance consistency. No structural or safety-critical faults are documented, though the absence of defect details limits a definitive assessment of underlying concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 59,295 miles aligns with an average of 7,412 miles annually over eight years, reflecting typical usage. The MOT records show gradual mileage progression: 36,299 miles in 2023, 48,557 in 2024, and 59,295 in 2025. This steady increase suggests regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity. However, the short interval between the 2025-11-06 failure and the subsequent 2025-11-11 pass—just five days—raises questions about the reliability of the testing process. The absence of defect notes in these tests complicates analysis of the vehicle’s mechanical health. A buyer should prioritize an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny to confirm no binding or wear, as these are common issues in older models. Structural integrity should also be verified, as corrosion or panel damage may not appear in MOT records. While the latest test indicates compliance, the history of unexplained failures underscores the need for a thorough mechanical check to identify any unresolved issues.
