2018 SUZUKI VITARA1.0L Petrol

The Suzuki Vitara presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 25 August 2025 at 47,623 miles showing no defects. The test history contains a failed entry on the same date and mileage with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the four preceding annual or near-annual tests from December 2022 to August 2024, the vehicle passed cleanly each time, indicating no recurring advisories or worsening condition. The recorded mileage of 47,623 against an eight-year-old vehicle equates to roughly 5,953 miles per year, a low figure for its age. The tester logged 27,010 miles on 7 December 2022, then 29,340 by 31 July 2023, 37,863 by 27 August 2024, and 47,623 by August 2025. This reveals a gentle but steady accumulation with no abrupt jumps, though the 2022 to 2023 gap of under eight months suggests the prior owner brought it forward. Low yearly use of this kind often means long stationary periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the low-use profile and the absence of any recorded advisories to confirm hidden wear. The clean record offers no flagged structural integrity issues or exhaust emissions failures, yet standing time can conceal underbody corrosion and flat-spotted tyres. Verify the duplicate 25 August 2025 pass and fail entries with DVSA to rule out a clerical error before purchase.
