This Grandland X hybrid is a touch more reliable than average, with an 85.9% first-time MOT pass rate against the UK's 80%, though one in five vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—worth investigating on any used example you're considering. The median mileage of just over 42,000 miles is healthy for a 2020 model, suggesting these aren't typically thrashed, and the 0.46 average failures per vehicle indicates most get through testing without major issues. That said, the 2.7 advisories per car signal routine wear items like tyres, brakes and suspension components are cropping up regularly, so budget for maintenance. Get a full pre-purchase inspection and check the MOT history carefully to see what defects were flagged and whether they've been properly fixed.
