2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · DP18 YPC

The 2018 Vauxhall Grandland remains roadworthy as of the most recent MOT on 22 October 2025, when the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable; the single failure recorded on 30 May 2022 was rectified by the next test a day later, and no further faults have emerged over the subsequent three annual checks. This consistency suggests that previous owners have addressed any issues promptly and maintained the car to a satisfactory standard. Mileage figures align with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. At 65,254 miles after eight years, the average annual mileage is roughly 8,157 miles, a moderate figure that does not indicate excessive wear. The gaps between tests are regular: 10,000 miles between 31 May 2022 and 14 June 2023, another 10,000 miles to 27 June 2024, and 8,000 miles to 22 October 2025. No sudden spikes or long idle periods are evident, reinforcing the notion of consistent driving habits. When inspecting the vehicle in person, focus on components that commonly surface in MOT checks. Verify the condition of the braking system: inspect brake discs for wear or scoring, check calipers for binding, and confirm that the brake fluid is at the correct level. Examine the suspension for any loose bushings or worn coil springs, and ensure that the steering linkage is free of play. Check the tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear that could signal alignment issues. Inspect the wiper blades and the condition of the windscreen for cracks or chips. Finally, look for any signs of rust or corrosion on the body panels and structural elements, as these can compromise long‑term integrity.
