2020 Vauxhall Grandland X SRI NAV Turbo A 1.2L Petrol · MF20 VHG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in April 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of reactive repairs. The most recent test at 36,014 miles showed a failure due to a split offside front CV boot and pitting/scoring on both rear brake discs. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, the recurring nature of brake corrosion across multiple years suggests the previous owner only addressed components when they approached a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 36,014 miles over six years, the Grandland has covered an average of approximately 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns. The data shows consistent intervals between tests, with roughly 4,700 miles driven between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 4,100 miles leading into the April 2026 test. This low mileage explains the heavy corrosion noted on the brake discs; low usage often indicates the vehicle may sit stationary for extended periods, which accelerates surface oxidation on exposed metal components. A buyer must physically inspect the offside front drive shaft to ensure the replacement CV boot is fitted correctly and that no grease leakage remains from the joint. The consistent history of worn front tyres and thin brake pads across 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicates a pattern of neglecting consumables until they become critical. Check the current tyre tread for uneven wear and verify the state of the rear brake discs and pads specifically, as the repeated pitting noted in the record suggests they may require replacement again soon despite the recent pass.
