2020 Vauxhall Grandland X SE Turbo 1.2L Petrol · KM20 XRW

This Vauxhall Grandland X currently holds a valid MOT issued on 17 January 2026 at 50,322 miles. The maintenance trend is mixed but recently stabilised. A failure on 23 December 2025 at 50,068 miles flagged an excessive engine oil leak, a degraded offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover, worn rear inner brake pads, and a non-functioning front windscreen washer. The subsequent pass five weeks later confirms those specific items were rectified. However, the recurrence of brake wear across multiple tests suggests the braking system has been a persistent maintenance focus rather than a one-off repair. The mileage accumulation is broadly consistent at roughly 8,400 miles per year, which is typical for its age. The most notable feature is the gap between the November 2024 pass at 35,375 miles and the December 2025 failure at 50,068 miles, representing 14,693 miles covered in just over twelve months. This indicates a period of heavier use after a relatively stable earlier history. No anomalies or suspicious jumps appear in the recorded data. Buyers should inspect the engine and gearbox area carefully for fresh oil residue or evidence of the previous excessive leak, paying close attention to the rocker cover gasket and oil filter housing. The anti-roll bar linkage dust cover was flagged as no longer sealing against dirt ingress, so check the ball joint for play and the drop link for wear. The rear inner brake pads were worn thin at the December 2025 failure, so verify the condition of the rear discs and pads for uneven scoring. The recurring advisory for worn front brake discs and pads across 2023 and 2024 suggests the front braking components may have been replaced recently, but a physical inspection of disc thickness and pad depth is advisable. Finally, test the front windscreen washer jets thoroughly, as the previous failure indicates a possible pump, blocked jet, or wiring fault that may not have been permanently resolved.
