2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · DA18 CDZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-07-17 at 60,820 miles, resulted in a failure despite no defects being recorded. This raises concerns about the validity of the test outcome, as a failure typically implies non-compliance with safety or emissions standards. The prior MOTs from 2024 and 2023 showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance history up to that point. However, the lack of recent testing—over 12 months since the last assessment—suggests potential lapses in compliance, as MOTs are required annually. The vehicle’s mileage of 60,820 miles over eight years aligns with an average of 7,602 miles per year, which is typical for its age. The MOT records show consistent testing intervals, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage accumulation. The 2024-04-23 test at 51,875 miles and the 2023-04-24 test at 43,228 miles indicate a steady usage pattern. However, the absence of detailed defect reports in any test limits the ability to assess wear on critical components like suspension, brakes, or exhaust systems. A buyer should prioritize an independent inspection of the vehicle’s structural integrity, suspension bushes, and brake systems, as these are common areas of concern for older models. The expired MOT status, combined with the 2025 failure, warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s current roadworthiness. While no specific faults were noted, the lack of recent testing and the unexplained failure highlight the need for a thorough pre-purchase check, particularly for corrosion, exhaust emissions, and brake functionality.
