SUZUKI VITARA2016 · 1.6L Diesel

This Suzuki Vitara presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of mechanical integrity. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 119,751 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 6 October 2025 and 19 October 2023, these failures were resolved almost immediately, suggesting the owner addressed issues promptly to maintain compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 11,975 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between October 2024 and October 2025, where the odometer rose from 97,839 to 119,751 miles. This jump of nearly 22,000 miles in a single year indicates a period of heavier use, which typically accelerates the wear of consumables. The absence of advisories across the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Usually, a car with nearly 120,000 miles would show signs of wear in the suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust system. The lack of recorded defects suggests either a rigorous preventative maintenance schedule or a very lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the underbody for signs of corrosion and check the depth of the tyre treads. Given the recent high-mileage year, verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt or chain condition is essential. I recommend a manual check of the brake pedal feel and steering play to ensure the mechanical condition matches the clean MOT record.
