2021 Vauxhall Grandland X SE Premium Turbo 1.2L Petrol · DV21 UGT

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance history, though the most recent data indicates a proactive approach to critical safety components. In the April 2026 test at 45,846 miles, the car failed due to front brake pads being measured at just 1.1mm alongside worn front brake discs. These issues were addressed immediately, as the vehicle passed the reinsat at 45,847 miles with no defects recorded. This mirrors a pattern seen in the 2025 test at 37,570 miles, where the tester flagged front brake pads as wearing thin, suggesting that the owner replaces braking components only when they reach failure thresholds rather than following scheduled preventative intervals. The mileage of 45,847 miles over five years is consistent with average national usage of approximately 9,000 miles per annum. However, the April 2024 inspection at 29,238 miles revealed that all four tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showed signs of edge wear. This specific finding indicates potential neglect regarding routine tyre inspections or a possible wheel alignment issue that was not immediately corrected by the previous driver. While the lower mileage suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine, the history of consumable wear on tyres and brakes shows a reactive rather than preventative maintenance philosophy. The structural integrity of the vehicle appears sound based on the records, with no advisories for corrosion or structural weakness noted across the years. The buyer should verify the current state of the front braking system to ensure the recent replacement was performed with high-quality parts. Given the previous reports of uneven tyre wear in 2024, a physical check of the suspension bushes and bushings is advisable to ensure no mechanical faults are causing premature degradation of the rubber.
