2020 Vauxhall Grandland X SE Turbo 1.2L Petrol · ST20 JZV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 63,939 miles passed, the car failed just moments prior due to multiple consumable failures including three bald tyres and an insufficient washer fluid system. This pattern suggests the previous owner only addressed defects once they triggered a formal MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance between tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 30,361 miles in May 2024 to 47,182 miles in May 2025, followed by another 16,757 miles covered by the April 2026 test. This regular usage indicates the car has likely been used for daily commuting rather than sitting idle for long periods, which explains the standard wear seen on the braking and suspension components noted in the history. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems given the recurring issues identified. The May 2025 test flagged a fractured offside rear coil spring and pitted brake discs on both axles. While these were likely replaced or repaired, the presence of pitting on discs suggests the vehicle may have been exposed to corrosive environments or sat without frequent brake use. Furthermore, the April 2026 failure regarding three tyres below the 1.6mm limit indicates a disregard for basic safety consumables. A thorough inspection of the remaining tyres and the wiper blades is necessary to ensure these failures were not isolated incidents.
