2022 Vauxhall Grandland X Griffin Edition T 1.2L Petrol · DF71 HWG

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on January 5 2026. At 18,326 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded, indicating an improving maintenance trend compared to the failure noted the previous year. The transition from a failure to a clean pass within the same month suggests that identified mechanical or safety issues were promptly addressed and rectified to meet DVSA standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,582 miles annually. Between the January 2025 test at 12,472 miles and the January 2026 test at 18,326 miles, the car covered 5,854 miles. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to corrosion on brake discs or flat-spotting if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should verify the specific cause of the failure on January 9, 2025, at 12,472 miles, as the record does not detail the exact fault. Although the subsequent pass was clean, an in-person inspection should focus on brake components for signs of seizing or uneven wear to ensure the low mileage has not masked proper lubrication. Given the low usage, checking the age and condition of the tyres and rubber suspension bushes is essential, as these materials degrade over time regardless of tread depth.
