2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.6L Diesel · ML18 ZGO

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is rated as Pass , but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in suspension and braking components. The most recent test on 2025-09-15 at 40,433 miles was passed, yet the subsequent test on 2024-03-20 at 36,464 miles was FAILED due to insufficient brake pad thickness, suggesting the brakes have degraded since the earlier pass. This progression from a passing test to a failing one at lower mileage points to a worsening trend in suspension and braking systems, a pattern that requires immediate inspection by a professional. Regarding mileage accumulation, the vehicle has experienced a stable pattern of accumulation over the past four years, though the gap between the 2024-03-20 and 2025-09-15 tests is significant. The vehicle has been tested at 36,464 miles in March 2024 and 40,433 miles in September 2025, with no gaps in the data. This means the vehicle has maintained a consistent mileage profile over the last three years, but the specific failure at 36,464 miles indicates that the wear on these components has accelerated since that date, potentially due to increased driving habits or environmental factors. Consequently, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the rear brake pads and suspension bushes, as the passing test at 40,433 miles was followed by a failure at 36,464 miles. The structural integrity of the suspension and braking system is compromised, and the lack of any other defects in the MOT record suggests that the vehicle has not undergone any major repairs since the 2024-03-20 test.
