2021 Suzuki Vitara SZ5 B-JET Mhev Agrip A 1.4L Hybrid electric · FC21 ABN

A clean MOT record across three consecutive tests underlines a consistent road‑worthiness profile, with the latest test on 28 May 2026 confirming a pass with no recorded defects. The only deviation from a flawless history is a nearside front tyre advisory noted at the 31 May 2024 test, indicating tread approaching the legal minimum and edge wear. Apart from that, the vehicle has demonstrated stable compliance with the statutory safety standards. At 33 374 miles the Vitara has accumulated roughly 6 700 miles per year since its 2021 registration, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within typical usage for a compact SUV of this age. The MOTs have been performed annually with no gaps, suggesting the mileage readings are reliable and that the vehicle has not experienced prolonged periods of inactivity that could conceal hidden deterioration. This moderate annual mileage translates to a relatively moderate rate of consumable wear, but it still warrants scrutiny of items that naturally degrade with distance, such as tyres, brakes and suspension components. The front tyre advisory should prompt a thorough visual and tactile inspection of both front tyres. Verify tread depth exceeds the 1.6 mm legal limit on all points, and look for uneven wear patterns that could hint at mis‑alignment, worn suspension bushes or incorrect tyre pressures. During a test drive, feel for any vibration through the steering wheel at higher speeds, and notice whether the car pulls to one side when cruising on a straight, level road – both are indicators that the tyre or its related geometry may need correction or replacement. Although no brake or suspension faults have been recorded, the absence of defects does not guarantee that these systems are free from wear. Listen for any squeal or grinding when applying the brakes, and check that pedal travel feels firm and consistent. While cornering, monitor for clunking or excessive play in the front suspension, which could signal deteriorating control arm bushes or tie‑rod ends. Addressing any emerging symptoms now will help maintain the vehicle’s otherwise clean MOT trajectory and reduce the likelihood of unexpected failures before the next test.
