2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0L Petrol · YX10 AHA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-04-19 at 104,051 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this test predates the current date by over four years, leaving a significant gap in recent roadworthiness data. Earlier tests in 2022 and 2020 show inconsistent outcomes—passing and failing on consecutive days with identical mileages—raising questions about procedural accuracy. No defects were logged across all entries, suggesting no immediate mechanical failures, but the absence of recent inspections limits confidence in the car’s current condition. The maintenance trend remains unclear due to sparse, non-recent records. The vehicle’s mileage of 104,051 miles aligns with an average annual usage of ~6,500 miles, typical for its 16-year age. A notable jump from 96,050 miles in 2019 to 104,023 miles in 2020 suggests a potential surge in usage over 12 months, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements. However, the lack of defects in all recorded tests indicates no immediate structural or mechanical failures. The sparse data, however, means critical wear patterns—such as corrosion or gradual brake degradation—remain unverified. A buyer should prioritise a hands-on inspection of the suspension system, particularly coil springs and shock absorbers, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of recorded brake-related issues does not preclude hidden wear, so checking for uneven brake disc wear or caliper binding is essential. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or corrosion in chassis components could have developed unnoticed. While the MOT history shows no overt failures, the long gap since the last test necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm ongoing roadworthiness.
