2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.6L Diesel · SR18 ASX

The 2018 Vauxhall Grandland with 102,720 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2025-08-25 at 102,720 miles resulted in a pass with no defects. However, a prior failure on 2025-08-18 at 102,716 miles—just seven days earlier—records no defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor issue resolved swiftly. The absence of structural, braking, or emission faults in the last three MOTs (2023-10-10, 2024-09-05, 2025-08-25) indicates consistent maintenance, though the high mileage of 12,840 annual miles raises concerns about accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The vehicle’s mileage progression reveals a sharp increase from 74,546 miles in October 2023 to 89,283 miles by September 2024 (14,737 miles in 11 months), followed by 13,437 miles in 11 months to reach 102,720 by August 2025. This rapid accumulation suggests frequent use, which may have exacerbated wear on consumables and mechanical systems. While the MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, the lack of advisories on high-mileage components like coil springs or corrosion is notable. The two failures in 2023 and 2025, both with no recorded issues, further imply that the car’s condition has remained within acceptable limits despite the mileage. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often leads to such degradation. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, while the exhaust system merits scrutiny for corrosion or leaks. The absence of structural rust or emission-related faults in the MOTs is reassuring, but the vehicle’s usage pattern necessitates a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm that no hidden issues have emerged. The owner’s maintenance habits appear consistent, but the high annual mileage warrants caution regarding long-term reliability.
