Vauxhall Grandland

The Vauxhall Grandland is a family-sized SUV on Stellantis underpinnings, sharing its platform with the Peugeot 3008 and Citroen C5 Aircross. It majors on space, comfort and equipment rather than driving engagement, with petrol, mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid options. Cross-shop the Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson and its Peugeot and Citroen siblings.

Best age to buy — around 4 years

A 4-year-old example loses roughly £1,800 a year — under half the £5,400 a one-year-old sheds. The steepest drop is behind it.

Safety rating

4/5
TEST YEAR2025
Rating expired (test protocol superseded)

The Opel/Vauxhall Grandland is a 'corporate twin' to the Peugeot 3008.

Independent crash-test data from Euro NCAP. Star ratings reflect the test protocol of the year shown — newer protocols are stricter, so a 5-star from 2024 represents a higher bar than a 5-star from 2014.

MOT outlook

How this model fares at its MOT as it ages — from 389,953 real DVSA test records.

MOT pass rate by age

A 3-year-old Grandland passes its MOT 89.6% of the time; by 9 years that has slipped to 77.3%. The y-axis is zoomed to this model’s range so the trend is readable.

Things owners say

  • 01Petrol versions use the 1.2 PureTech, which has a wet belt with a patchy reliability history - check belt/oil service history closely.
  • 02PHEV versions need regular charging to justify the cost; never charged, they just carry battery weight.
  • 03Closely related to the Peugeot 3008 and Citroen C5 Aircross - worth cross-shopping all three on spec and price.

Safety recalls

Manufacturers occasionally issue safety recalls to fix a fault free of charge. You can check whether the Vauxhall Grandland, or your exact vehicle, has any outstanding recalls on the official DVSA service.

Check on GOV.UK

Opens the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency recall checker. Choose the make, model and year of manufacture — no registration needed.

Theft risk

A general indicator from UK 2025 theft data and this car’s characteristics — not a prediction for any one vehicle.

Whole-car theft

Higher

Desirable SUVs like this are relay-theft targets — keyless entry can be exploited from the driveway in under a minute.

Parts theft

Higher

Hybrid versions are a catalytic-converter target — a hybrid cat is rich in precious metals and can be cut out in about a minute.

Worth doing

  • Keep keys in a Faraday pouch and away from the front door to block relay attacks.
  • A catalytic-converter guard or forensic marking makes a hybrid far less appealing to cut.
  • A visible steering lock is a cheap, strong deterrent on a frequently-targeted car.

Clean-air zones

Whether driving a Vauxhall Grandland into a UK clean-air zone will cost you anything. Rules use the same Euro standard across most zones — petrol from 2006 and diesel from 2015 onwards are exempt; pure electric is always exempt.

Company car tax

What HMRC's Benefit-in-Kind charge looks like if you ran this Vauxhall Grandland as a company car, by tax year and income-tax band. Calculated from a CO₂ of 133 g/km, using £33,500 as the P11D value.

P11D value is approximated from the latest new price; the exact figure on your tax code will depend on options fitted.

Network size relative to the UK's largest (Vauxhall is 4.3% of all franchised outlets)

Servicing, parts and warranty work are easy to find UK-wide, and most independent garages know the brand well — which keeps maintenance competitive.

For context, the UK has roughly 4,500 franchised car-dealer outlets in total, plus about 15,500 independent garages.
