2019 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · DP19 HRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. The most recent test on 15 January 2026 at 102,347 miles initially failed due to an inoperative offside stop lamp and a malfunctioning engine management warning light. The fact that the vehicle passed the following day suggests the owner addressed these electrical and sensor faults immediately. Beyond this recent failure, the trend remains relatively stable with no recurring mechanical defects or structural corrosion recorded over the last four years. The mileage profile is high for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,600 miles annually. There is a significant surge in usage between March 2022 and January 2025, where the car covered nearly 40,000 miles in under three years. This rapid accumulation often suggests consistent motorway use, which can be kinder to the drivetrain than city driving but accelerates the wear rate on suspension components. The consistent jump in mileage between annual tests confirms the car has been in regular use rather than sitting for long periods. A prospective buyer should de-inspect the braking system closely, as the 2022 test flagged thin front brake pads at 49,724 miles. Given the additional 52,000 miles driven since that advisory, the discs and pads are likely nearing the end of their functional life. The January 2026 failure regarding the engine management light also necessitates a thorough diagnostic scan to ensure the fault was fully cleared and is not indicative of an intermittent sensor failure. Furthermore, the high mileage justifies an inspection of suspension bushes and shock absorbers, as high mileage puts significant stress on these rubber and hydraulic components.
