2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · MM67 VDX

The Vauxhall Grandland presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 May 2025 at 67,055 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior passing test on 27 August 2024 at 63,470 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 27 August 2024 at the same mileage, yet the record lists no defects, which points to an administrative or presentation fault at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. No recurring advisories or worsening conditions appear across the history. The mileage pattern sits close to typical use for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,382 miles per year. From the 18 October 2022 test at 41,050 miles the car covered 13,103 miles to the 23 November 2023 test at 54,153 miles, then 9,317 miles to August 2024 at 63,470 miles, and a modest 3,585 miles to May 2025 at 67,055 miles. The slowing annual accumulation suggests lighter recent use. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories on any pass, so the record gives little insight into wear on consumables or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of recorded advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody structural integrity were not flagged, but that does not confirm their condition at 67,055 miles. The unexplained fail with no defects on 27 August 2024 warrants a check of the VOSA failure reason with the test centre to rule out a data error. Given the low recent mileage and eight year age, examine rubber components for perishing from standing, check for structural rust at sills and subframes, and verify brake calipers are not seizing after low use. The history implies previous owners kept the car to minimum legal standard with no flagged neglect, yet the sparse record leaves mechanical wear assessment to a hands-on survey.
