2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · MK68 AEA

The Vauxhall Grandland presented a valid MOT pass on 31 October 2025 at 105,579 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthy status. Maintenance trend appears stable, as every annual examination ultimately resulted in a clean certificate. The record shows anomalous failures on 29 October 2025 at 105,535 miles and on 5 November 2024 at 104,432 miles, each followed by a pass on the same or next working day with no defects logged. Such repeat fail-pass cycles without documented advisories suggest either swift correction of off-record faults or administrative anomalies in the test entries. Registered in 2018, the vehicle has covered 105,579 miles over roughly eight years, averaging 13,197 miles annually, a high figure for its class. Mileage accumulation slowed markedly in recent cycles. The 31 October 2023 test at 102,793 miles preceded the 5 November 2024 test at 104,432 miles, a gain of only 1,639 miles across thirteen months. By the 29 October 2025 failure at 105,535 miles, a further 1,103 miles were added. The sparse but yearly history shows consistent workshop attendance, though the abrupt 44-mile jump between the October 2025 fail and pass hints at a short remedial trip. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical and structural elements despite the absence of recorded defects. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering joints for wear attributable to the high lifetime mileage. Brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for binding or uneven wear, while the exhaust emissions system and underbody corrosion should be assessed for structural integrity. Verify the undocumented fail reasons with DVSA to rule out suppressed advisories on tyres or wiper blades. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a passable standard, given the zero-advisory outcomes. The clean sheets do not negate age-related degradation invisible to the test bay. Targeted scrutiny of consumable items and hidden rust will protect against latent faults.
