Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific 1.2L petrol Grandland, confirm that the issues identified in the February 2024 MOT failure—specifically the binding rear brakes and the front tyre tread depth—were professionally rectified. Ask the seller for receipts relating to the brake service and the replacement of the front tyres to ensure they meet safety standards.
You should also check the condition of the anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, as this was a recorded failure point. While the 2026 MOT passed with no defects, verifying that these specific mechanical and consumable items were addressed is vital for peace of mind.
The 1199cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for a family SUV. Fuel economy for this model variant is typically moderate, suitable for mixed driving.
Maintenance costs should be considered standard for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Expect routine servicing costs to include oil changes, filter replacements, and eventually, brake pad and disc replacements, given the binding issues noted in the MOT history.
Pay close attention to the braking system. The MOT history shows both nearside and offside rear service brakes were binding in early 2026; ensure the calipers and pads have been inspected or replaced.
Check the condition of the tyres, particularly the front pair, as the previous failure indicated tread patterns were not visible. Additionally, inspect the suspension components, specifically the anti-roll bar ball joints, to ensure the dust covers are intact and no ingress of dirt is occurring.
This 2018 grey Vauxhall Grandland has covered 63,616 miles, which is slightly above the model average of 8,134 miles per year. While it has a history of passing MOT tests without defects between 2022 and 2024, it did encounter several failures in February 2026 regarding brakes, tyres, and an anti-roll bar component. Despite this, the most recent test in February 2026 was passed with no defects recorded.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 87.5% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including windscreen wipers, wheel bearings, and anti-roll bars.
