Our Verdict

This is a solid buy for a 2020 Vauxhall Grandland X with a reassuring MOT record and sensible mileage. The only minor note is a lightly worn offside rear brake disc flagged in 2025, which is a cheap fix rather than a structural concern.

Ask the seller for full service history to confirm the 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine and wet belt have been maintained on schedule, as this unit is known across the Vauxhall range for timing belt-in-oil servicing needs. Use the 2025 advisory on the offside rear brake disc to negotiate a small reduction or request replacement before collection, as discs and pads are inexpensive on this model. Given the blue 1199cc Business Edition Nav variant is a popular spec, check the infotainment and sat-nav function as well as the usual electrical items on a 2020 car.

The 1.2-litre petrol engine in this Grandland X typically returns mid-40s mpg in mixed driving, keeping fuel costs reasonable for a compact SUV. As a Euro 6 AP petrol it should fall into a lower VED band than larger engines, with insurance generally in a moderate group for the class. Routine maintenance such as oil, filters and the noted brake disc is cheap, and we estimate total annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and servicing at roughly £900-£1,100.

The July 2025 MOT noted the offside rear brake disc was worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened; physically check both rear discs and pads for wear and budget to replace if still within tolerance limits. With 35,980 miles recorded, inspect the 1199cc turbo petrol for any cold-start rattles or belt noise, and confirm the wet timing belt looks clean given its age. As no defects were recorded at the July 2026 test, also verify tyre condition and general bodywork on this blue example, though the data shows no outstanding advisories.

The Grandland X Business Edition Nav Turbo registered M555AAL has covered 35,980 miles by its July 2026 MOT, which is modest for a five-and-a-half-year-old petrol SUV. Its MOT history shows four passes, with only a 2025 advisory for an offside rear brake disc worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened. No MOT failures are recorded, and the most recent test in July 2026 noted no defects at all. Without aggregate model data we cannot benchmark reliability, but this individual example's history is clean and consistent.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Vauxhall Grandland X Business Edition Nav Turbo, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
