Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
Focus your attention on the engine's health. The 2022 failure for an 'Engine MIL' malfunction combined with the 2024 advisory for an 'Engine leaking oil' suggests potential issues that need verifying. Ask for evidence of any repairs carried out to address these specific points in the service history.
Given the low annual mileage, check for signs of short-trip wear or battery degradation. Ensure the service intervals have been met regardless of the low mileage to maintain the health of the 1.2L engine.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, though as a crossover, it will have higher costs than a small hatchback. You can expect moderate fuel economy and insurance costs typical for a family SUV in this class.
Annual costs will include VED (road tax) based on its 2018 emissions and standard maintenance. With an average MOT pass rate of 87.5% for this model, typical maintenance is generally predictable, though wheel bearings and anti-roll bars are known common failure points for the Grandland.
Prioritise a visual inspection of the engine bay for signs of oil leaks, as noted in the October 2024 MOT. Check that the Engine Management Light (MIL) is not illuminated on the dashboard and request a diagnostic scan to ensure no latent faults remain from the 2022 failure.
Inspect the tyres for even wear; the 2022 failure noted an offside front tyre worn on both inner and outer treads, which could indicate an alignment issue. Finally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and anti-roll bar components, as these are common failure points across the Grandland range.
This grey 2018 Vauxhall Grandland has covered 42,020 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history shows a generally consistent record, though it includes a failure in 2022 and a more recent advisory regarding an oil leak in 2024. It presents as a low-mileage example of the 1.2L petrol variant.
The Grandland has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 87.5%, with common issues typically relating to wipers and suspension components.
