2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.6L Diesel · PAZ 226

The Vauxhall Grandland presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent March 2026 test at 108,375 miles, where the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every annual examination either passing cleanly or showing a failed entry carrying no recorded defects. The repeated fail-with-no-defects pattern on the same dates as passes suggests administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults, and no advisories or wear items have been logged at any stage. Mileage stands at 108,375 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 13,500 miles per year and placing this example above typical private-use averages for its age. The records show steady accumulation: 76,975 miles in March 2024, 92,822 in March 2025, and 108,375 by March 2026, a consistent 15,000 to 16,000 annual increment with no standing gaps. The DVSA data itself is sparse on fault detail, recording no advisories across four years, which limits diagnostic insight into consumable or structural condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high mileage and absence of any logged advisories that would normally flag such items. The clean record does not confirm component health, only that testers raised nothing; at 108,375 miles the drivetrain and steering joints warrant physical checks for play or corrosion. The twin fail-pass entries on 19 March 2024 and 17 March 2026 with zero defects imply clerical or documentation issues at the testing station rather than owner neglect. Previous keepers kept the car on a strict annual test cycle with no recorded mechanical rejections, suggesting routine compliance even if underlying wear went unrecorded.
