MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

18 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara (MU51 BXL) between March 2006 and July 2020.

The record contains 16 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 27 July 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (4 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (3 issues), Bodywork (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 6 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (3.5.1g)”; “Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)”.
