2021 Vauxhall Grandland X Griffin ED T A 1.2L Petrol · KT71 EOE

The vehicle presented a valid MOT certificate at the time of its most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 5,884 miles, with no defects recorded. This, combined with the preceding pass on 3 March 2025 at 3,337 miles, indicates a stable maintenance record free from recurring mechanical failures. The absence of any advisory or defect notices across both tests suggests no underlying issues were developing that required monitoring. The recorded mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,177 miles annually. A significant increase in usage is evident between the two tests, with 2,547 miles accumulated in the 11 months from March 2025 to February 2026. This pattern implies the vehicle may have experienced extended periods of minimal use prior to 2025, followed by a recent return to regular operation. Such a history can lead to specific degradation patterns unrelated to high-mileage wear. A buyer should pay particular attention to components susceptible to age-related deterioration rather than wear. Inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, especially given the potential for long periods of inactivity. Examine the brake system for signs of caliper binding or disc corrosion, common in vehicles that have stood unused. The suspension bushes and mounting points should be checked for hardening or deterioration. Finally, conduct a thorough visual inspection for structural corrosion in typical areas such as the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as low-mileage vehicles can still develop rust if stored in damp conditions. The clean MOT history provides no cause for alarm but does not preclude the need for a comprehensive physical inspection.
