2019 Vauxhall Grandland 1.2L Petrol · YN19 CEG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 36,885 miles passed with advisories for worn tyres and pitted rear brake discs. This represents a decline from the clean 2024 and 2023 results, indicating that components are now reaching the end of their service life after long intervals. The mileage data appears inconsistent and suggests varying periods of use. While the vehicle averages roughly 5,269 miles per year over seven years, a significant jump is recorded between June 2022 (20,115 miles) and July 2024 (53,671 miles), where it covered over 33,000 miles in just two years. However, the recorded mileage of 36,885 miles in 2025 is significantly lower than the 2024 entry, suggesting a potential clerical error or a major change in usage patterns. A buyer must focus inspection on the front suspension geometry due to recurring failures of the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. The tester flagged slight play in 2022 and excessive wear leading to a failure in July 2023 on both front sides. This recurring issue suggests the suspension may be prone to premature wear or that the previous owner neglected replacing these components until they reached a critical state. The braking system also requires close attention. The history shows thin front pads in 2022 and 2023, followed by pitted and scored rear discs in the July 2025 test. Combined with the advisories for rear tyres reaching the legal tread depth limit, the vehicle is currently due for a significant expenditure on consumables. Inspect the brakes for uneven pad wear and ensure the rear discs are not beyond resur due to the noted pitting.
