2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · SW04 DEC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 August 2025 at 59,221 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. While the car cleared the latest test, the immediate failure on that same day reveals significant neglect of basic safety items, including a fractured nearside rear coil spring and multiple non-compliant tyres. This suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger a failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 43,590 miles and August 2024 at 51,797 miles, the car covered roughly 8,200 miles, followed by another 7,624 miles in the subsequent year. This steady accumulation indicates regular use, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and seals to prevent seizing or excessive corrosion associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and drivetrain components in person. The August 2024 failure for a split offside front drive shaft CV boot indicates a risk of grease loss and joint failure if not replaced immediately. Furthermore, the history shows a recurring trend of brake wear, with worn discs noted in 2023 and pitted discs flagged in 2024. You must verify the current thickness of the brake pads and check for uneven wear or glazing on the discs which may require replacement across the entire axle to resolve the previous defects.
