2018 Suzuki Vitara 1.6L Petrol · L33 LBV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over five consecutive annual tests. The most recent inspection on 29 July 2025 at 36,435 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have met DVSA standards without the emergence of recurring failures or progressive wear patterns often seen in older vehicles. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,554 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 17,717 miles and the July 2025 test at 36,435 miles, the car covered 18,718 miles. This low usage suggests light annual mileage which typically reduces stress on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components. However, low-mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between journeys. While the MOT record shows no faults, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Check the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, and inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting resulting from infrequent use. Given the age of the vehicle, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and check the underbody for early structural corrosion despite the low mileage. The clean history suggests the vehicle has been well-cared for, despite its limited use.
