2007 Suzuki SX4 GL 1.6L Petrol · PEZ 1530

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 10 October 2021 at 114,457 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects. This followed a technical failure just five days prior at 114,333 miles which also listed no specific defects, suggesting either a clerical administrative error or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately without establishing a pattern of systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between September 2018 and September 2019, the car covered 9,667 miles, while it added 18,111 miles in the two-year period leading to the 2021 tests. However, there is a significant gap of nearly five years since the last recorded MOT in October 2021. Given this lapse in testing, the current state of the vehicle is unverified, and critical rubber components, fluids, and braking systems may have deteriorated through neglect or age-rating degradation. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the record lacks recent data on these wear items. Older Suzuki models are prone to corrosion in the rear sills and wheel mounting points, which require a thorough check for structural rust. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and the brake calipers for binding or excessive pitting on the discs. Because the vehicle has not been tested for five years, checking the condition of the tyre sidewalls and the tread depth is essential to ensure the car has not suffered from long periods of standing.
