2019 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · DS19 FKB

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with five consecutive MOT passes and a notable absence of structural, braking, or suspension failures. The most recent test on 2026-07-06 maintained this trend, although it introduced a specific advisory regarding a nail in the offside rear inner tyre. The record indicates a lack of recurring mechanical defects over the testing cycle. The recorded mileage of 52,064 miles represents a typical annual accumulation of approximately 7,438 miles for a vehicle of this age. This usage pattern indicates a balanced load on the drivetrain and suspension components, avoiding the risks associated with prolonged standing or excessive high-mileage wear. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, confirming the vehicle has remained in active use throughout its life. Inspection should focus on the current state of the tyres, specifically the offside rear which was flagged for a nail during the July 2026 test. A physical check is required to determine if this has been repaired or if the tyre requires replacement. The 2023 advisory regarding the offside front tyre being worn on the edge indicates a history of uneven tread wear, which warrants a close inspection of the remaining tyre depths across all four corners to ensure consistent contact patches. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering centering and any pull to one side, as these symptoms would correlate with the previously noted uneven tyre wear on the offside front. Verifying that the vehicle tracks straight and the steering wheel remains centered under load will help determine if the alignment issue flagged in 2023 has been rectified or remains a current mechanical concern.
