This 2019 Grandland X is significantly more reliable than the average UK car, with an 88.5% first-time pass rate well above the 80% national average—though the 21.7% of vehicles that have suffered a dangerous defect is a concern worth investigating further on any used example you're considering. The petrol engine variant passes reliably at 88.4%, with no notable fuel-type weakness to worry about.

At 34,500 miles median mileage, these cars are running relatively light for their age, suggesting they've been driven gently on balance. The average of 0.56 failures per test and 4.3 advisories points to minor wear items rather than structural problems—but ask the seller for full service history and have any advisory items (likely suspension, trim, or fluid-level niggles) checked before you buy.

The 2019 Vauxhall Grandland X Elite Nav Turbo passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (89.4%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 89.4% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 4.3 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 700 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
