Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Vauxhall Grandland Ultimate Turbo D A?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Moderate sample. 460 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2022 Vauxhall Grandland Ultimate Turbo D delivers a reassuring 92% first-time pass rate—12 points ahead of the UK average—and dangerous defects are rare at just 3.3% of vehicles, so this is a fundamentally sound car for MOT purposes. You're looking at a diesel unit with minimal failure history (0.12 failures per vehicle on average), though advisories crop up fairly regularly at 0.9 per car.

At 23,764 miles median, these vehicles are running low for their age, which explains the healthy reliability picture; the real test comes when mileage climbs. Focus your pre-purchase inspection on the diesel engine and emissions systems, since advisories suggest minor wear rather than catastrophic problems, and ask the seller for full service records to confirm the maintenance that keeps these cars running cleanly.

The 2022 Vauxhall Grandland Ultimate Turbo D A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (94.1% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
