2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.5L Diesel · FL68 MLZ

The Vauxhall Grandland presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 23 September 2025 at 90,211 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The same-day failure on 23 September 2025 at identical mileage shows no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior tests of 27 September 2024 at 75,654 miles, 28 September 2023 at 60,423 miles, and 21 September 2022 at 48,488 miles, the vehicle passed each year with no advisories or recorded defects. Annual mileage averaged roughly 11,276 miles against an eight-year lifespan, a typical use profile for this model age. The records show consistent yearly increments of around 12,000 to 15,000 miles with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The clean sweep of passes with zero advisories across all five entries suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory testing discipline, though the absence of any flagged wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes means the MOT alone offers no early warning on consumable condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the sills and subframes, since the MOT history never required the tester to comment on these areas. The brake calipers, coil springs, and suspension bushes warrant hands-on checks despite no binding or cracking being noted in the record. The same-day fail and pass in September 2025 should be clarified with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed defect prompted the reversal.
