2016 SUZUKI VITARA1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over several years. The most recent test conducted on 12 January 2026 at 76,954 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure entry on the same day that lacked specific details. This suggests an administrative anomaly or a minor retest requirement that was immediately rectified, as the vehicle has maintained a clean-sheet record across the previous three annual cycles. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 59,074 miles and January 2025 at 71,919 miles, the car covered 12,845 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The subsequent 5,035 miles recorded before the January 2026 test confirms this trend of moderate use, indicating the vehicle was not subjected to high-stress mileage or long periods of neglect. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or mechanical failures regarding the braking system or structural integrity, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear for this age and mileage. The buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are often the first components to degrade on Suzuki Vitaras. Given the clean test history, checking the brake discs for thinning and the exhaust system for surface corrosion will confirm if the previous owners maintained the vehicle beyond the minimum legal testing requirements.
