2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · KA06 SEA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass during the most recent inspection on 13 January 2026 at 31,446 miles. This recent result indicates that the mechanical and safety concerns raised in previous years have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows an improvement, moving from advisory warnings in late 2024 to a defect-free certificate today. The mileage is significantly low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,931 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between October 2023 (24,054 miles) and December 2024 (27,897 miles), representing only 3,843 miles covered over fourteen months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such intermittent driving can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front axle assembly components, as the December 2024 test flagged thin front brake pads and a front tyre worn unevenly near the legal limit. Although the January 2026 test passed without defects, the inspector should verify that the brake pads have been replaced and that the alignment is correct to prevent further premature tyre wear. Given the low annual mileage, checking the brake discs for pitting or rust is also advisable to ensure the system has not suffered from lack of use.
