2014 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · PK14 ACF

The 2014 Suzuki SX4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 4 February 2026 at 77,166 miles where it passed with only a minor front tyre advisory for slight cracking or perishing under clause 5.2.3 (d) (ii). Prior tests show no recorded defects across five consecutive annual examinations, indicating the vehicle has not suffered escalating mechanical or structural decline. The single advisory is a consumable wear item rather than a serious mechanical risk. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,430 miles per year against the vehicle's twelve-year life, with the record showing 58,005 miles in July 2022, 64,403 in July 2023, 70,399 in July 2024, 72,583 in February 2025, and 77,166 in February 2026. The clean pass history with no gaps longer than standard annual intervals suggests consistent statutory testing and light-to-moderate use by prior keepers. Low annual accumulation reduces strain on drivetrain and suspension components, though prolonged standing periods can accelerate rubber degradation such as the tyre perishing now flagged. A buyer should physically inspect the front tyres for sidewall cracking and remaining tread depth, replacing them if perishing has advanced since the February 2026 test. Given the absence of any advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion across the record, underlying mechanical integrity appears sound, but a visual check of underbody condition and brake caliper operation remains prudent on a vehicle of this age. The clean MOT lineage implies previous owners maintained basic upkeep, with no evidence of skipped tests or deferred major repairs.
