2014 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · EJ64 CJF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 89,832 miles showed only a minor lighting failure, indicating that previous issues with the braking system and tyres have been addressed. However, the trend shows a recurring cycle of consumable component wear and neglect, suggesting the owner tends to replace parts only when they reach failure thresholds during an MOT inspection. At 89,832 miles over 12 years, the car averages approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for an older hatchback. The mileage accumulation is steady and predictable, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 6,200 miles between late 2024 and late 2025. This consistency suggests the vehicle is not sat for long periods, which generally helps keep rubber components and seals from seizing. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the record shows pitted and scored discs and thin pads flagged across multiple tests in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The hand brake was also noted as high in 2023, requiring a physical check for cable tension or drum shoe adjustment. Given the history of perishing tyres and low tread depths, particularly the failed test in November 2022 where rear tyres were below 1.6mm, the current age and condition of all four tyres must be verified to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit.
