2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.5L Diesel · MT68 SVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in February 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a pattern of addressing faults only after a failure occurs. While the most recent test at 51,208 miles resulted in a failure due to critical tyre wear, the subsequent pass confirms the defects were rectified. This suggests the owner is responsive to legal compliance requirements but may neglect proactive maintenance of consumables between the annual inspection intervals. With a recorded mileage of 51,208 miles over eight years, the Grandland has averaged approximately 6,400 miles per year. This figure is consistent with low-average usage, which generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain and internal engine components. The intervals between the February 2024 test at 27,094 miles and the 2025 test at 39,616 miles show a consistent accumulation of roughly 12,500 miles in that specific year, indicating a regular usage pattern rather than long periods of stationary neglect. A buyer should specifically inspect the front tyres during person inspection, as the February 2026 failure for exposed cords on both the nearside and offside front tyres indicates potential alignment issues or incorrect inflation. This type of wear often points to worn suspension bushes or faulty shock absorbers which should be checked for signs of play. Additionally, the 2025 failure regarding headlamp aim is a minor adjustment issue, but it is worth verifying that the mounting brackets are secure and have not been physically damaged. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake defects in the history, the vehicle appears mechanically sound, provided the front-end suspension is thoroughly investigated.
