2019 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · DP19 EXK

This Vauxhall Grandland presents an exemplary roadworthiness profile, with five consecutive MOT passes recorded between June 2022 and October 2025 and no advisories or defects logged at any of those tests. The most recent examination on 2 October 2025 returned a clean pass, reinforcing the pattern of mechanical integrity established over the preceding three years. The absence of any flagged advisories relating to suspension components, brake lines, underbody corrosion, or exhaust condition is particularly notable for a vehicle of this age, as the Grandland has not displayed the typical PSA-platform issues such as rear axle corrosion or front suspension arm wear that often surface in mid-life MOT records. The trajectory is therefore one of consistent compliance rather than gradual decline. Recorded mileage of 51,570 miles across seven years equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,367 miles, which sits comfortably within the expected range for a family SUV of this type. There are no significant gaps in testing frequency that might suggest extended periods off the road, and the regular biennial MOT pattern from 2022 onwards indicates the vehicle has remained in continuous active use. There is also no evidence of any unusual mileage jump between test entries that would raise concerns about clock tampering or rapid commercial use. From a mechanical wear perspective, this mileage profile points to moderate but steady consumption of brake friction material, tyre tread, and suspension bushes, all of which should still have substantial service life remaining given the absence of any related advisories. For a prospective buyer, the lack of recorded advisories means the inspection priorities should shift toward the components that are commonly affected on Grandland models around this age and mileage bracket. Particular attention should be paid to the front suspension lower arms and anti-roll bar bushes, which on the related Peugeot 3008 platform are known to develop play before MOT failure thresholds are reached; on a test drive, listen for clonking or knocking noises from the front end over speed humps and uneven road surfaces, and feel for vagueness or rattle through the steering wheel on rougher tarmac. Likewise, the rear brake calipers on Grandland variants have been known to suffer from seized slider mechanisms leading to uneven pad wear, so a standing brake test from around 30 mph should reveal any pulling to one side or a spongy pedal feel. The diesel or petrol drivetrain should also be assessed for the typical wear indicators associated with this mileage, including any signs of oil misting around the cam cover or turbocharger oil feed lines, and condition of the dual-mass flywheel if a manual gearbox is fitted, which may manifest as a rattling noise on disengagement or juddering at low engine speeds. A thorough underbody inspection for surface corrosion on the rear subframe mounting points and exhaust heat shielding is worthwhile given the wet British climate, even though no corrosion defects have yet been recorded. Finally, a comprehensive service history verification is essential, as the clean MOT record only confirms point-of-test condition, and confirmation of timely oil and filter changes, brake fluid renewal, and timing or chain service intervals will provide the full picture of long-term mechanical durability.
