SUZUKI SX4 SZ4 DDIS2010 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-06 at 96,153 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. Previous tests from 2024-07-24 (95,059 miles) and 2023-07-13 also passed without issues, though a failure on 2024-07-04 at 94,735 miles noted no defects. This suggests the car has maintained compliance, but the unexplained failure raises questions about potential minor faults addressed between tests. No recurring mechanical or structural issues are documented, implying consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 96,153 miles over 16 years aligns with an average of 6,010 miles annually, typical for its age. A notable gap exists between the 2022-06-11 test (85,203 miles) and 2023-07-13, where mileage jumped to 95,059, reflecting a 9,856-mile increase in 13 months. This could indicate periods of heavy use or infrequent MOTs. Subsequent tests show regular compliance, but the lack of detailed defect records limits insight into component wear, particularly in suspension, brakes, or exhaust systems. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear given the car’s age. Brake discs, calipers, and pads should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often degrade over time. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body panels, warrants scrutiny to rule out hidden rust or damage. The absence of recorded exhaust emissions or corrosion issues is positive, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
