2022 Vauxhall G-Land X Bness ED NV PRM HYB A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · DN71 TKX

With only two MOT tests recorded, both of which returned clean passes with no advisories or failures, this 2022 Vauxhall Grandland X presents a very limited but entirely positive official roadworthiness history. The most recent assessment on 23 January 2026 was passed with no defects recorded, and the earlier test on 14 January 2025 was similarly clean, suggesting a stable mechanical condition rather than any emerging pattern of wear. However, the brevity of the MOT record itself is worth noting: as a relatively new vehicle still within its first three years, this car was not legally required to undergo annual testing until reaching its third anniversary, which explains the sparse dataset. The absence of any flagged components on either test offers reassurance, but it also means the prospective buyer cannot yet rely on MOT history to reveal developing wear items. The recorded mileage of 49,865 miles against an age of approximately four years equates to an annual rate of around 12,466 miles, which sits firmly above the national average and points to consistent, high-utilisation driving. This level of accumulation is more typical of a vehicle used for daily commuting or motorway mileage rather than occasional leisure use. Mechanically, higher mileage of this nature accelerates wear on consumable components such as brake pads and discs, tyres, drive belts, and hybrid system battery cycling, while placing greater cumulative stress on suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and engine mounts. The powertrain itself, being a hybrid, should still have plenty of service life ahead, but the buyer should anticipate that brake discs and pads may be approaching or already due for replacement, and tyres will likely need careful inspection for uneven wear patterns indicative of suspension geometry issues. Given the clean MOT history but high annual mileage, the test drive should focus on the areas most likely to show the first signs of wear on a heavily used vehicle of this age and type. Listen carefully for any knocking or clonking noises from the front suspension when traversing speed humps or uneven surfaces, as worn drop links, control arm bushes, or top mounts can develop before becoming apparent in straight-line driving. Pay particular attention to brake feel: any judder through the pedal under firm application would suggest warped front discs, while a soft or inconsistent pedal could point to air in the system or worn caliper sliders, all of which are common on higher-mileage examples. Because hybrid braking systems blend regenerative and friction braking, make sure the friction brakes are still engaging smoothly during low-speed stops, as seized calipers can sometimes develop with limited use of the mechanical braking element. Steering behaviour warrants close attention on the test drive, particularly any pulling to one side under braking or acceleration, which could indicate worn suspension components or uneven tyre wear. Check the tyres themselves for consistent tread depth across the axle and look for feathering or inner-edge wear, both classic indicators of suspension bushes beginning to deteriorate or wheel alignment drifting out of specification. On the hybrid system, monitor the dashboard for any warning lights related to the high-voltage battery or regenerative braking system, and confirm that the transition between electric and petrol propulsion is smooth without any unexpected vibrations or surging. Finally, because no corrosion advisories have yet appeared, inspect the underside visually for any early surface rust on brake pipes, subframe mounting points, or exhaust hangers, as catching these early prevents costly remedial work later.
