2020 Vauxhall Grandland X SRI NAV Turbo A 1.2L Petrol · LL20 RFE

The most recent MOT, carried out on 5 March 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding three annual tests in 2025, 2024 and 2023 also returned clean passes. This uninterrupted sequence of fault‑free examinations indicates a stable maintenance pattern, with no evidence of deteriorating components or recurring advisories over the past four years. At 52,382 miles recorded for a 2020 model, the vehicle averages roughly 8,700 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the typical UK usage envelope for a family SUV of this age. There are no conspicuous mileage gaps that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity, nor is there any indication of accelerated wear that might be expected from high‑kilometre abuse. The mileage therefore supports a moderate wear profile for the drivetrain, suspension and braking systems. Given the clean MOT history and the moderate mileage, the buyer should focus on age‑related checks. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or any signs of perishing, and verify that tread depth meets the legal minimum while remaining even across the tread width. Examine the 12‑volt battery for corrosion on terminals and assess its charge hold, especially if the vehicle has spent time idle; a load test at a reputable garage will confirm remaining capacity. Look for any signs of brake disc surface rust, especially on the rear discs, and check that the calipers operate freely without binding or uneven pad wear, which can develop when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Verify that all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, brake fluid, coolant and power‑steering fluid – are topped up and appear clear, and consider a fluid change if the service book shows the last top‑up was more than 24 months ago, as fluids degrade with time even without mileage. Finally, request a full service history to confirm that the timing chain, which is typical on the turbo‑charged 2.0‑litre engine, has been inspected at the recommended intervals, and that the turbocharger itself has been checked for oil leaks, excessive shaft play or abnormal whine. During a test drive, listen for any clunking from the suspension bushes or coil springs, monitor for uneven tyre wear that could hint at mis‑alignment, and note any hesitation or loss of boost under acceleration which may signal turbo wear. A thorough visual inspection of the under‑carriage for rust, especially in the wheel arches and sills, will also help confirm that the vehicle has not suffered hidden corrosion from prolonged storage. These checks will give a prospective buyer confidence that the Grandland X remains mechanically sound and road‑worthy.
