2019 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · DP19 EOW

The overall roadworthiness status for this 2019 VAUXHALL GRANDLAND is good , but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in suspension and braking components. The vehicle has been tested in the September 2023 test at 48,569 miles, which is the most recent record. This test passed, and the tester flagged binding rear brakes, while noting that the front brake discs were corroded and pitted but not seriously weakened. The 2026 test at 69,016 miles also passed, suggesting that while the brakes have not failed structurally, the wear pattern has shifted over time. The mileage accumulation shows a clear pattern of rapid growth between 2023 and 2026. The vehicle was tested in 2022 at 37,540 miles, which is significantly lower than the 48,569 miles in 2023, indicating that the owner likely did not perform routine maintenance during this gap. This gap in upkeep is a major red flag, as it suggests the owner may have been careless or that the vehicle was left on the road for extended periods, leading to accelerated wear on suspension bushes and coil springs. The 2026 test at 69,016 miles confirms that the total mileage has increased by approximately 11,476 miles since the 2023 inspection, which aligns with the expected wear on suspension parts over time. Given the recurring faults in the suspension and brakes, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes and check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs. The 2026 MOT record explicitly flags binding rear brakes, which is a critical structural risk that requires immediate attention. The 2023 test also flagged a cracked or perishing rear tyre, which, while a consumable wear item, suggests the owner may have neglected basic tyre maintenance during the 2023 gap. The 2022 test flagged a worn rear brake disc, further indicating that the braking system has deteriorated despite passing the initial 2023 inspection. A thorough physical inspection is required to determine if the structural integrity of the suspension and the condition of the brake discs are still in acceptable range for safe driving.
