2014 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.6L Petrol · YG14 AAX

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 13 February 2026 at 57,464 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a continuous sequence of successful inspections dating back to at least 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum regulatory requirements without recurring mechanical failures or structural issues. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,789 miles per year. The data shows a steady, incremental increase in mileage across each annual test, moving from 37,022 miles in February 2022 to 57,464 miles in February 2026. This gradual progression indicates regular, short-distance usage rather than long periods of stagnation, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized calipers or perished rubber components often found in vehicles with much lower annual usage. Because the MOT record is entirely free of advisories, there are no documented trends regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion. While the electronic record shows no failures, a physical inspection should still focus on common age-related wear items that do not always trigger an MOT failure. I recommend checking the condition of the underside for surface corrosion and inspecting the tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as these are consumable items that may not be flagged until they reach the legal limit. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should specifically examine the service history for evidence of oil changes and fluid refreshes. Vehicles driven short distances frequently suffer from moisture buildup in the engine oil and brake fluid, which can lead to internal component wear despite a clean MOT history. Checking the condition of the drive belts and suspension bushings during a physical inspection remains a prudent step to ensure the vehicle's mechanical health matches its exemplary documentation.
