Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When reviewing this vehicle, focus on the service history of the 1.5L diesel engine to ensure oil changes have been performed at the correct intervals. Given the mileage of nearly 89,000, check for evidence of timing belt or water pump replacement if specified by the manufacturer's schedule for this engine variant.
Negotiate based on the recent advisory regarding the anti-roll bar. Since this is a known weak point for the Grandland model, ensuring this component is replaced or repaired will prevent a future MOT failure. Verify that the vehicle has been used for a mix of driving cycles to ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) remains clear.
The 1.5L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys, which helps offset the higher fuel cost compared to petrol. Tax and insurance will vary by trim level, but this model typically sits in a mid-range insurance group for family SUVs.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally standard for the class, though suspension components like anti-roll bars may require periodic attention. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Specifically inspect the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, which was flagged as severely deteriorated during the October 2025 MOT. This is a common failure point across the Grandland range and should be addressed to avoid joint failure.
Check the condition and tread depth of all tyres, noting that the offside rear was flagged as worn close to the legal limit in 2022. Additionally, listen for humming or droning noises during a test drive, as wheel bearings are identified as a top failure reason in aggregate data for this model.
This red 2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.5L diesel has recorded 88,948 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The vehicle's history shows five consecutive MOT passes, indicating a consistent ability to meet safety and emissions standards. While the mileage is higher than the model average, the lack of major failures is a positive indicator.
The Vauxhall Grandland has an average MOT pass rate of 87.5%, with common failures typically linked to windscreen wipers, wheel bearings, and anti-roll bar components.
