2019 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · DP19 FVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 22 May 2026 at 51,378 miles once again flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs. While the vehicle passed the test, the recurring nature of brake-related defects across multiple years suggests that the previous owner only addressed components once they reached a point of failure or an advisory threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,340 miles per year. Between May 2023 at 39,387 miles and May 2026 at 51,378 miles, the car covered 1,991 miles, indicating steady, moderate use. This relatively low mileage explains the gradual wear on consumables, but the frequency of failures indicates that the vehicle's braking and minor suspension components are being pushed to the limit of their operational life between annual MOT intervals. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system, as the record shows thin pads and worn discs appearing consistently in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The persistent pitting on the rear discs suggests potential corrosion or caliper sticking that could affect braking performance over time. Furthermore, the failure regarding the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover in 2025 highlights a need to check all rubber suspension boots and joints for tearing or grease leakage, as the history shows these areas are frequently overlooked until they fail a tester.
