2021 Vauxhall Grandland X Elite NAV Turbo A 1.2L Petrol · DY71 LGF

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend following a significant failure in mid-2024. The most recent test on 6 August 2025 at 58,223 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester noted a sidewall injury on the nearside front outer tyre. This follows a clean pass in August 2024, suggesting that the heavy maintenance required after the previous failure has been addressed. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical UK usage for a five-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 58,223 miles, averaging roughly 11,645 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 55,340 miles during the July 2024 failure to 55,352 miles in August 2024, and finally 58,223 miles in August 2025. This indicates regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway running. The July 2024 test at 55,340 miles revealed a significant lapse in basic upkeep. The vehicle failed on multiple fronts, including worn and pitted brake discs, thin front brake pads, and a severe grabbing issue with the nearside rear service brake. The tester also flagged several tyres with tread depths below the legal 1.6mm limit and a distorted nearside front wheel rim. These defects suggest the previous owner neglected routine consumable replacements and brake system maintenance. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the discs and pads were replaced with quality components following the 2024 failure. Check the nearside front wheel for any residual vibration or tracking issues caused by the previously distorted rim. Finally, inspect all four tyres for even wear and ensure the sidewall damage noted in the August 2025 test has been rectified with a new tyre rather than a temporary repair.
