2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.6L Diesel · SR18 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent test on 3 April 2025 at 78,032 miles. While the current record shows no defects, the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful re-tests. This suggests that the previous owner was reactive, addressing issues only when a test failed rather than performing preventative maintenance. However, the vehicle has consistently maintained its legal operating status without recurring structural or mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,754 miles annually. Between April 2023 at 43,433 miles and April 2024 at 59,481 miles, the car covered over 16,000 miles in a year, indicating a period of high use. The subsequent interval saw roughly 18,500 miles covered by March 2025, maintaining that higher rate of operation. This steady mileage suggests that wear on components such as suspension bushings and brake hardware is likely within expected age parameters. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that likely caused the failures in March 2025 and April 2024. Since the record lists no specific defects for those failures, they were likely related to consumable items like light bulbs, wiper blades, or minor fluid leaks that were rectified quickly. Given the mileage, inspect the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding, and check the suspension control arms for perished rubber. The chassis should be examined for surface corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the vehicle's age.
