2019 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · NL69 NJF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass in October 2025 at 68,639 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a significant lapse in preparation in September 2025 indicates a lack of pre-test inspection. The failure recorded just six miles prior involved a non-functional headlamp, a legally worn nearside front tyre, and an obstruction caused by a child seat. These issues were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass a month later. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression, moving from 22,996 miles in September 2022 to 56,597 miles in September 2024. These intervals suggest the vehicle has been used for regular commuting rather than sitting for long periods. This regularity implies the car has been exposed to typical road conditions, which is generally beneficial for maintaining components like seals and bushings compared to vehicles with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their inspection on the braking system, as the 2022 test flagged a pitted and scored nearside rear brake disc. While the vehicle passed the following three tests without brake defects, the presence of surface corrosion or wear suggests the components may be prone to degradation. Given the 2025 failure regarding a worn tyre, a thorough tread and pressure check across all remaining tyres is necessary to ensure the owner has not neglected basic consumable maintenance. The buyer should also verify the alignment of the offside headlamp, as the previous failure noted an inability to test the aim.
