2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.5L Diesel · DP68 EBX

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on July 5 2025 at 83,721 miles. This result indicates a recent improvement in maintenance standards compared to previous years where recurring defects appeared. While earlier tests flagged multiple issues, the lack of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests the current owner has addressed outstanding mechanical and wear-related concerns. The mileage progression is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Data shows steady usage with a jump of 13,738 miles between the July 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 13,833 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regular interval suggests the car has been used for consistent commuting rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps to keep rubber components and seals from drying out. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower front suspension and drivetrain given the history of component failure. The 2022 test at 50,149 miles identified a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot, which if left neglected, leads to grease loss and eventual joint failure. Furthermore, the recurring pattern of tyres worn on the edges across 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicates potential persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Verify the current tread wear patterns on all four tyres to ensure these previous geometry faults were properly rectified during the last service.
