2014 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · NA14 AEC

The 2014 Suzuki SX4 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its two most recent MOT tests on 2026-02-11 (79,953 miles) and 2025-11-28 (79,358 miles). The prior test on 2024-12-04 (71,572 miles) also passed, though a failed result on 2024-11-27 (same mileage) suggests a potential temporary issue that was resolved. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, indicating consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s lack of advisories or critical failures in recent tests supports its current roadworthiness. Mileage progression shows a steady increase, with 58,137 miles recorded in 2023 and 79,953 miles as of 2026. A notable jump from 58,137 to 71,572 miles between 2023 and 2024 (13,435 miles in 13 months) suggests heavier usage during that period, though no corresponding defects were flagged. Subsequent tests show slower accumulation, with 8,816 miles added between 2024 and 2025, and 595 miles between 2025 and 2026. This pattern aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, though the abrupt mileage rise in 2024 warrants scrutiny for potential wear on components like brakes, suspension, or drivetrain. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components often degrade with mileage. The 2024 failed test, though unexplained in the record, may hint at transient issues requiring inspection. Corrosion risks, particularly in body panels or underbody components, should also be assessed, as older vehicles in coastal or salty environments may develop hidden structural weaknesses. The absence of exhaust emissions or steering-related advisories is positive, but a physical check of tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels is recommended to confirm ongoing maintenance.
