2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · WN18 AAO

The 2026‑04‑01 MOT passed with zero defects, confirming that the Vauxhall Grandland remains roadworthy as of today. The record shows a stable maintenance pattern, with no recurring failures after the earlier brake‑disc wear and tyre advisories were addressed. Mileage has risen from 11,965 miles in March 2021 to 37,391 miles by April 2026, averaging about 4,674 miles per year, which is low for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. A notable jump occurred between the March 2024 test at 27,274 miles and the March 2025 test at 32,889 miles, adding roughly 5,600 miles in a single year, while the interval from March 2025 to April 2026 added about 4,500 miles, indicating a steady but accelerated usage in recent months. Recurring issues centre on the front and rear brake discs, which have been noted as worn, pitted or scored in the 2025 and 2024 tests, and on tyre wear that approached the legal limit in 2024 and 2022. The absence of any suspension or structural advisories in the latest test suggests that bushes and coil springs are currently satisfactory, but the repeated disc wear warrants close inspection for binding calipers or uneven pad wear. A buyer should therefore examine the current thickness of the brake pads, verify that the discs show no deep scoring or cracks, check tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and inspect the suspension components for play or corrosion. Any signs of rust on the chassis, wheel arches or exhaust system should also be confirmed, as these areas can develop over time despite the recent clean report.
