Our Verdict

This is a solid option for those seeking

When inspecting this specific 1.997cc diesel Grandland, pay close attention to the tyre condition, as the most recent MOT (October 2025) flagged a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. Check all four tyres to ensure they aren't showing similar edge wear, which could indicate alignment issues.

Ask the seller for evidence of recent servicing to complement the MOT records. Since this is a diesel model, ensure the service history includes oil changes at appropriate intervals to protect the engine. Given the mileage, you should also check the condition of the brake pads and discs, as these are common wear items on SUVs of this weight.

As a 2.0L diesel, running costs will be influenced by your annual mileage and driving style. Fuel economy on long motorway trips should be relatively efficient, though urban driving will see higher consumption. Tax and insurance groups will vary depending on the specific trim level and driver profile.

Typical maintenance for this model includes routine oil changes, filter replacements, and eventually addressing wear items like tyres and brakes. You should budget for periodic maintenance to keep the vehicle in line with its current MOT pass record.

Focus your inspection on the tyres and suspension components. The October 2025 MOT recorded a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge, so check for uneven tread wear across the vehicle, which can signal suspension or tracking problems.

Based on aggregate data for this model, you should also inspect the windscreen wipers and wheel bearings, as these are frequent failure points across the wider Grandland fleet. Finally, listen for any unusual noises from the anti-roll bar area during a test drive, as this is a common MOT failure reason for this model type.

This 2018 Vauxhall Grandland, finished in grey, has covered 67,622 miles since its first registration in October 2018. The MOT history shows three consecutive years of passing with no defects recorded prior to the most recent test in October 2025. The mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 8,134 miles per year, but the vehicle has maintained a consistent testing pattern.

Aggregate data for the Vauxhall Grandland shows an 87.5% average MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to wipers, wheel bearings, and anti-roll bars.
