What does a Vauxhall Grandland cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Vauxhall Grandlands tested at age 5, about 14 failed the MOT first time; at age 6, about 20. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time; the steepest one-year step in this cross-section is between cars aged 5 and 6, 6.13 percentage points (2024).
