Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeking a modern, well-documented SUV. This specific Grandland X Elite Nav Turbo shows a consistently clean MOT record with no defects noted across its recent tests.
When purchasing this Elite Nav Turbo variant, focus on verifying the full service history to complement the clean MOT records. Ensure that the oil change intervals for the 1.2L turbo engine have been strictly adhered to, as this is critical for long-term engine health. Check the operation of the 'Elite Nav' infotainment and navigation systems to ensure all software is functioning correctly.
Negotiate based on the current mileage of approximately 50,000 miles, which is a common point for wear-and-tear items. Check for the condition of the brake pads and tyres, as these are consumable items that may soon require replacement despite the clean MOT history.
The 1199cc petrol engine is designed for a balance of efficiency and performance, typically falling into a moderate tax band for 2021 registrations. Insurance costs will depend on the driver's profile, but the Grandland X generally sits in a mid-range insurance group for family SUVs.
Annual costs will include the VED tax, petrol, and routine servicing. Maintenance for the Elite trim is generally straightforward, though the inclusion of more electronic features can occasionally lead to higher diagnostic costs compared to base models.
While the MOT history for FL21PLX shows no defects as of May 2025, you should still perform a physical inspection of the grey paintwork for any stone chips or scratches. Check the interior upholstery for wear consistent with 50,000 miles of use.
Specifically, inspect the tyres for even wear and check the brake discs for any lip formation. Although the MOTs were passed without defects, these are wear-and-tear components that should be assessed for remaining life to avoid immediate post-purchase expenditure.
This 2021 grey Vauxhall Grandland X features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 49,943 miles as of its last MOT in May 2025. The vehicle's history is notably clean, with three consecutive MOT passes recorded between February 2024 and May 2025 without any defects or advisories. This suggests a vehicle that has met all regulatory safety and emissions standards consistently.
Specific aggregate reliability data for the Grandland X Elite Nav Turbo is not available, but the individual history of this vehicle is clean.
