2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.9L Diesel · CV58 FYO

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend that focuses on reactive repairs rather than mechanical neglect. The most recent test in September 2025 at 129,114 miles passed with no major failures, noting only minor lighting issues related to lens products and position lamp interference. This represents an improvement from the 2022 failure where a stop lamp and worn tyre were flagged, suggesting the current owner is addressing identified defects upon inspection. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eighteen-year-old 4, averaging approximately 7,173 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 4,752 miles, indicating a period of lower-intensity use compared to its historical average. The gap of only 490 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a regular usage schedule, which generally reduces the risk of seized mechanical degradation in the drivetrain or suspension components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension, as the record shows a recurring trend of rear tyres wearing to the legal limit or on the edges across 2022, 2023, and 2024. This persistent pattern often points to alignment issues, worn suspension bushes, or failing shock absorbers. Additionally, verify the headlamp lenses for degradation mentioned in the latest test. Given the age of the Suzuki, a physical check for structural corrosion on the sills and under subframes is essential, as the MOT record does not provide detail on rust integrity beyond immediate failure points.
