2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0L Petrol · KN58 AED

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-11-01 at 119,298 miles confirmed it passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past two years. Previous tests from 2023 and 2022 also showed no issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. The single failed test in 2022 at 104,574 miles recorded no defects, which may reflect a procedural error or minor non-critical failure. Overall, the absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the last four tests implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no significant deterioration observed. The mileage progression shows a steady increase of approximately 6,000–7,000 miles annually, aligning with the vehicle’s 18-year age. The 2021 test at 98,744 miles to the 2024 test at 119,298 miles spans 19,554 miles over three years, consistent with average usage. No abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity are evident, which reduces concerns about component degradation from neglect. The MOT history is relatively clean, with no advisories or critical failures, though the 2022 failure without defects warrants cautious scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over 18 years of use. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Structural rust, especially on the chassis or underbody, remains a risk in older models, though no such issues were flagged in the MOT records. Routine checks of tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions would also confirm ongoing maintenance, as these are common areas for minor oversights.
