2018 SUZUKI VITARA1.6L Petrol

The vehicle currently in a stable roadworthy condition, showing an improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 June 2026 at 36,488 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This is a significant improvement over the previous year where a minor wiper blade failure was noted. The absence of any advisories in the latest test suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical issues previously identified by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent usage, moving from 8,271 miles in April 2021 to 36,488 miles by June 2026. While low mileage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to rubber-based components degrading. However, the record shows annual testing, suggesting the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the brake system and tyres despite the low mileage. The May 2023 test at 17,800 miles flagged thin front brake pads and a perished nearside rear tyre, indicating that consumables are reaching the end of their life cycle regardless of distance driven. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear from infrequent use. Given the age of the vehicle, also check the sidewalls of all tyres for cracking, as low-mileage cars often suffer from dry rot before the tread depth is fully exhausted.
