2019 Vauxhall Grandland 1.5L Diesel · XL02 BEX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a concerning trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While it passed the most recent March 2026 test at 72,531 miles, it failed just one day prior due to significant mechanical neglect. The failure for an excessively fluctuating offside rear service brake and rear pads worn to less than 1.5mm suggests that the owner only addressed braking components once they reached the point of legal and safety failure. At 72,531 miles over seven years, the Vauxhall Grandland averages approximately 10,360 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for this class. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,500 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This consistent usage suggests regular operation, yet the recorded data indicates that routine inspections are being overlooked between the annual testing intervals. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front drive system, as both outer constant velocity boots have been flagged as severely deteriorated since March 2025 and remained unfixed until the 2026 test. While the vehicle passed now, deteriorated boots often lead to grease leakage and eventual failure of the drive shaft joints if not replaced immediately. The recurring issues with tyres reaching the legal limit in both 2024 and 2025 further reinforce a pattern of ignoring basic consumable wear until it necessitates an MOT failure.
