2020 Vauxhall Grandland X Business ED NAV T 1.2L Petrol · DP69 FPY

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 7 January 2026 at 49,387 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a strong indicator of recent mechanical attention, particularly given the contrast with the June 2024 test cycle. During that June 2024 visit, the tester flagged worn front brake discs and thinning front pads alongside a non-functioning nearside rear stop lamp, prompting an initial failure. A retest on the same day passed, suggesting the owner promptly replaced the brake components and repaired the lamp circuit. The transition from advisories in mid-2024 to a completely clear bill of health in early 2026 implies diligent upkeep rather than neglect, though the current mileage sits right at the test date, meaning the most recent MOT was conducted at the vehicle's current odometer reading with no running wear items flagged. The mileage accumulation of roughly 8,231 miles per year over six years sits squarely within typical annual usage for a family SUV. The progression from 19,981 miles in December 2022 to 32,443 miles by June 2024 shows a steady 12,462-mile gain over approximately 18 months, consistent with regular daily driving. The subsequent jump to 49,387 miles by January 2026 represents a further 16,944 miles over roughly 19 months, indicating a slight uptick in usage but nothing alarming. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden drops in recorded mileage that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of inactivity. The record is clean and chronologically coherent. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection despite the cleanest test. The June 2024 advisories on front brake discs, pads, and a rear stop lamp suggest the braking system endured a period of accelerated wear, so checking the condition of the rear brake discs, calipers, and pads for uneven wear or binding is wise. Inspect the nearside rear light cluster and wiring for corrosion or water ingress, as lamp failures often stem from connector deterioration rather than simple bulb failure. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for deterioration, along with the underside for any corrosion on subframes or suspension mounting points. The January 2026 pass provides reassurance, but a pre-purchase inspection covering these areas will confirm whether the maintenance momentum has held.
