SUZUKI VITARA SZ-T BOOSTERJET MHEV2022 · 1.4L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a recent corrective action. While the car failed its test on 30 June 2025 at 15,940 miles due to a dangerous nearside rear tyre cut reaching the cords, it successfully passed a retest the very following day on 1 July 2025 at 15,941 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates that the previous owner responded immediately to safety-critical consumable failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,985 miles per year. This low usage suggests the car has seen primarily short trips, which typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. The single-mile gap between the failure and the pass in mid-2025 confirms that the issue was isolated to a simple tyre replacement rather than a systemic mechanical failure or alignment issue that would manifest across multiple miles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres to ensure the replacement nearside rear unit is of adequate quality and matches the others. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for flat spots on the tyres or brake corrosion, which can occur when a vehicle sits for long periods. The MOT record shows no advisories regarding structural integrity or fluid leaks, suggesting the vehicle has remained in a good condition despite its low annual mileage.
