2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · DP68 GYX

The vehicle remains in roadworthy condition as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass in October 2025 at 8,986 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a shift from clean passes to identifying minor wear-related issues. While the car passed its previous tests without defects, the appearance of advisories in the most recent inspections indicates that the vehicle is beginning to show signs of age degradation rather than mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,123 miles per year. Data shows significant periods of low use; between November 2022 at 761 miles and November 2024 at 4,453 miles, the car covered only 3,692 miles over two years. The recent jump of 4,533 miles in the final year of the record suggests a more recent increase in usage. Such low annual mileage often leads to secondary issues with rubber components and fluids that remain stationary for extended periods. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the 2024 and 2025 tests both flagged cracking and perishing across the set. Low-mileage vehicles suffer from dry rot and sidewall degradation when tread depth remains high. The inspector should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use prevents the pads from cleaning the metal surfaces effectively. Additionally, the suspension bushes should be examined for cracking to ensure that the age-related rubber degradation has not compromised the structural integrity despite the low mileage.
