2018 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · WN68 CCU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in June 2025 at 78,131 miles passed with an advisory for a non-excessive oil leak. This follows a significant failure in June 2024 where the vehicle failed on multiple tyre defects and a faulty washer system, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached a failure threshold. The mileage progression is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a notable jump in usage between the June 2022 test at 19,625 miles and the May 2023 test at 36,365 miles, covering over 16,000 miles in a single year. The interval then stabilized at roughly 20,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, which aligns with the accelerated wear observed on tyres and braking components. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine bay for the source of the oil leak identified in 2025, as recurring issues like thin front brake pads and pitted discs noted in 2023 suggest the braking system may be neglected. The recurring reports of uneven tyre wear and low tread across 2023 and 2024 indicate potential issues with wheel geometry or worn suspension bushes that require a physical check. Given the history of neglected consumables, a thorough inspection of the suspension integrity and fluid levels is necessary to ensure no hidden degradation is present.
