2019 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · ST68 XMZ

The latest MOT (5 January 2026) was a pass at 32,936 mi, but it flagged front and rear brake discs as worn, pitted or scored and the front lower suspension arm pin/bush as worn. Those brake disc warnings have appeared on every test since 2023, and the suspension wear shows up in 2024 and again in 2026. A failed test in January 2025 highlighted an excessively worn front anti‑roll‑bar linkage ball joint, which has not been recorded again but suggests the front suspension has been a recurring weak point. Overall the pattern is a steady, low‑level wear issue rather than a sudden deterioration. The brake disc condition has not improved – it is still “worn but not seriously weakened” – and the front lower suspension arm continues to show wear. The anti‑roll‑bar ball joint failure in 2025 was the only outright failure, but the fact it was recorded indicates the front suspension may need attention soon. Mileage is only 32,936 mi for a 2019 model, roughly 4,700 mi per year, which is well below average. Low mileage can mean less overall wear, but it can also indicate long periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion or rubber degradation. The MOT data does not show any major drivetrain or emission issues, so the low mileage is not a clear sign of hard use; it simply leaves the vehicle’s wear profile ambiguous. For a buyer, the priority checks are: Inspect all brake discs and pads for thickness, scoring and rust; confirm they have been or will be resurfaced/replaced.
