SUZUKI SX4 S-CROSS SZ-T B-JET MHEV2021 · 1.4L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-02-17 inspection at 24,496 miles. The 2024-02-22 failure at the same mileage recorded no defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or misclassification. Since 2024-02-23, the car has passed all tests without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. No structural corrosion, brake system faults, or suspension failures were flagged, though the low mileage raises questions about long-term component aging. The recorded mileage of 24,496 miles over five years equates to approximately 4,899 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this model. The 2024-02-23 test at 20,937 miles showed no defects, followed by a 2,070-mile increase to 23,007 miles by 2025-02-28, then a 1,489-mile rise to 24,496 miles by 2026-02-17. This pattern suggests infrequent use or prolonged storage, which may affect components like battery life, brake discs, and suspension bushes. The lack of wear-related advisories in the MOT history is positive but does not confirm active maintenance. A buyer should verify the 2024-02-22 failure’s context, as no defects were listed, and inspect for signs of inactivity-related issues. Check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion, suspension components for stiffness or play, and the exhaust system for leaks or rust. Low mileage may mask hidden wear, so a pre-purchase inspection should focus on these areas. The absence of structural rust or major faults in recent tests supports the car’s mechanical soundness but does not eliminate the need for a thorough physical check.
