2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · KS18 FBO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to consumables. The most recent test in October 2025 at 86,981 miles showed the vehicle passing despite advisories for both rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit and a damaged mirror glass. While no major mechanical failures were recorded, the recurring nature of tyre wear alerts suggests that components are often only addressed once they reach inspection thresholds rather than during scheduled servicing. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's 8-year age, averaging approximately 10,873 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between tests, moving from 46,571 miles in September 2021 to 77,601 miles in October 2024, and finally to 86,981 miles in October 2025. This regular usage reflects a standard road life, which is typical for a family-sized crossover, but it also places consistent demand on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The October 2023 test at 69,391 miles flagged all four brake discs as worn, following an advisory for thin pads in 2021. Furthermore, the offside front outer drive shaft CV boot was noted as severely deteriorated in both 2021 and 2023; the buyer must verify that this has been replaced and is not currently leaking, which would lead to joint failure. The consistent adviseories for uneven tyre wear across multiple years also necessitate a check of the wheel alignment to prevent premature degradation of new tyres.
