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.

How these figures are sourced the valuation is anchored to a researched used-market price for this model (AutoTrader median, 2023 at 30k miles). Reliability, mileage and variant data are real DVSA MOT records. Dimensions, tyre sizes and costs, servicing figures and the insurance group are segment-level estimates rather than sourced per car, and are being replaced model by model.

Best age to buy — around 4 years

A 4-year-old example loses roughly £1,800 a year — 67% less than the £5,400 a one-year-old sheds. The steepest drop is behind it.

Safety rating

Euro NCAP's independent crash-test rating for the Vauxhall Grandland, from its 2025 assessment.

4/5
TEST YEAR2025
Current rating · valid to 2031

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. Euro NCAP ratings run for six years from publication; a lapsed rating means the protocol has moved on, not that the car performs any worse than it did on test.

MOT outlook

How this model fares at its MOT as it ages — from 402,311 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 72.5%. The y-axis is zoomed to this model’s range so the trend is readable.

Longevity

96%of 8-year-old examples are still taxed and on the road — a useful read on how well the model lasts.

From 16,579 vehicles registered in 2018.

Survival by registration year

93%95%98%100%20182022

Each point is one registration cohort. Older cars on the left, newer on the right. A flatter line means the model holds up over time; a steep drop means cohorts disappear from UK roads faster.

What’s on the road

The fuel-type split of every Grandland with MOT history in the DVSA record. From 121,036 vehicles tested at least once - not the number on the road today, which is lower.

  • Petrol 63.2%
  • Hybrid 17.9%
  • Diesel 14.8%
  • Electric 3.8%

What fails at the first MOT

The defect categories a Grandland registered 2020–2023 fails on at its first MOT, from 45,550 first tests. Every car here is the same age and the same generation, so these are the faults that show up first - not the wear a high-mileage older example collects.

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.

Tax yearBIK %Tax @ 20%Tax @ 40%Monthly @ 20%Monthly @ 40%
2025-2631%£2,077£4,154£173£346

2029-3033%£2,211£4,422£184£369

P11D value is approximated from the latest new price; the exact figure on your tax code will depend on options fitted. The 4% diesel surcharge applies only to non-RDE2 (pre-2021) diesels — we assume RDE2 compliance for current models. Bands and rates from HMRC's Autumn Budget 2024 confirmation through 2029/30.

Servicing & the dealer network

How well-supported Vauxhall is across the UK — a practical read on how easy servicing, parts and warranty work will be to find.

Franchised UK dealers

~195

Large network

Mass-market

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.

Approximate figures, curated from public UK industry sources (NFDA, Car Dealer Magazine). Franchised networks shrink year on year — these indicate network size, not an exact count.

Common questions

Vauxhall Grandland, answered from the data

Is the Vauxhall Grandland reliable?
The Vauxhall Grandland scores 77/100 on Forecourt's MOT-based reliability measure, ahead of 65% of the cars we track. That is computed from 402,311 real DVSA MOT test results.
How much does a used Vauxhall Grandland cost?
A 2023 Vauxhall Grandland with around 24,486 miles is worth roughly £17,650 today (typical range £15,950–£19,400). Dealer forecourt prices sit higher and part-exchange offers lower; newer or lower-mileage examples cost more.
How quickly does the Vauxhall Grandland depreciate?
A new Vauxhall Grandland typically loses about 37% of its value over the first three years, then depreciates more slowly. Buying at three to five years old avoids the steepest part of the curve.
What insurance group is the Vauxhall Grandland?
The Vauxhall Grandland sits in insurance group 22 of 50 — the middle of the scale. Exact premiums depend on the trim (some versions sit a few groups higher or lower), your age, postcode and no-claims history.
What goes wrong on a used Vauxhall Grandland?
The most common age-related issues we track for the Vauxhall Grandland are: tyres & wheels (typically around over 100k miles, £80-£500 to put right); brakes (typically around over 100k miles, £150-£500 to put right); suspension (typically around over 100k miles, £150-£450 to put right). A full service history and a recent MOT with no advisories are the best protection.
What does the Vauxhall Grandland cost to run?
Expect around 53 mpg combined on the Mk2 1.2 Hybrid 136, £200 a year in road tax, about £185 for a standard annual service. The full cost-of-ownership table above breaks this down per year and per mile for the exact year and mileage you choose.
Is the Vauxhall Grandland ULEZ compliant?
Most petrol Vauxhall Grandlands from 2006 and diesels from September 2015 meet the Euro standards for London ULEZ and other UK clean-air zones, so they are generally exempt from the daily charge. Pure-electric versions are always exempt.
How many Vauxhall Grandlands are on UK roads?
About 109,570 Vauxhall Grandlands are currently taxed and on the road in the UK, from DfT vehicle-licensing data.

Answers are generated from this car's Forecourt data — DVSA MOT records, DfT licensing statistics and our valuation model — and update with the weekly data refresh.
