2019 Vauxhall Grandland 1.5L Diesel · FE68 BNO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 at 97,713 miles. The maintenance trend shows a significant improvement following a failure in early 2023. While the 2024 and 2025 tests were clean, the tester noted that engine covers and undertrays were obscuring certain components, which can limit a thorough visual inspection for fluid leaks or minor corrosion during a standard MOT test. At seven years old, this 2019 Grandland has covered a high mileage, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. The data reveals a notable spike in usage between February 2025 and January 2026, where the vehicle covered over 13,000 miles in just eleven months. This high-intensity usage places consistent strain on wear-related components such as suspension bushings, dampers, and braking systems. The gap between the January 2023 and February 2024 tests suggests a period of lower usage followed by the current high-frequency driving pattern. A buyer must pay close attention to the oil leak recorded in January 2023. Although it was described as not excessive at the time, the high mileage necessitates a close look at the engine seals and sump gasket to ensure the leak has not worsened. The 2023 failure due to thin rear brake pads and a worn disc indicates that the previous owner neglected basic consumable maintenance intervals. Given the current high mileage, a physical inspection should verify for uneven wear on the remaining brakes and check the integrity of the suspension components, which are prone to fatigue at this stage.
