2022 Vauxhall Grandland X Griffin Edition T 1.2L Petrol · SB71 HPV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred attention regarding consumable components. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 38,504 miles, it had failed that same test due to the offside rear tyre falling below legal limits. The transition from a failure to a pass with multiple advisories suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults once they reached a critical threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per annum. There is a gap of 16,203 miles between the November 2024 test at 22,301 miles and the March 2026 test at 38,504 miles. This interval shows steady usage, yet the sudden accumulation of brake-related issues in the latest record indicates that the vehicle underwent significant wear in a relatively short period since the previous inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The March 2026 record flagged binding calipers on both the rear wheels, along with thin rear pads and worn discs across all three axles. Binding issues often stem from seized caliper sliders or sticking pistons, which can lead to uneven pad wear and premature overheating. You should also verify that the offside front tyres have been replaced, as the previous advisory noted uneven edge wear, which frequently indicates an underlying alignment issue or worn suspension bushes.
