2013 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · YO51 DCW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 8 December 2025 at 85,192 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has successfully passed without recorded defects over the last three years. While the record shows failures in December 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on those failure reports suggests that minor issues were rectified immediately prior to the retest without indicating a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,553 miles per year. Between the 30 November 2023 test at 83,877 miles and the December 2025 test at 85,192 miles, the car covered only 1,315 miles over a two year period. This low-rate accumulation suggests the vehicle is used for short-distance trips rather than high-speed commuting, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to higher averages. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber components and fluid integrity, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perishation of suspension bushes and tyre seals rather than mechanical wear. Given the age of the Suzuki, check for surface corrosion on brake discs and caliper arms, as infrequent use can lead to binding or seizing. While the MOT history is clean of structural advisories, a chassis inspection for rust around the sills and wheel arches remains necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains intact despite the low mileage.
