Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Vauxhall Grandland X Griffin Edition T?

This Grandland X Griffin Edition T is a solid performer: a 93.3% first-time pass rate sits well ahead of the UK average of 80%, and only 10.2% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—well below the threshold for concern. The low failure rate of 0.16 per vehicle confirms these are mechanically straightforward cars at this age.

With a median mileage of just 25,105 miles for a 2022 model, these are lightly-used examples, which explains the strong reliability picture. The 1.5 advisories per vehicle suggests minor wear items rather than structural problems—typical for a two-year-old SUV. If you're considering one, request the full MOT history to check what those advisories were, but this cohort warrants genuine confidence.
