2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.6L Petrol · AD52 CFL

The Suzuki Grand Vitara presents a current roadworthy status following the March 2022 MOT pass at 70,664 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable on paper. The most recent test recorded no defects. This indicates the vehicle cleared its annual roadworthiness check without advisories roughly four years before today's date. The recorded mileage shows remarkably low use for a 2003 vehicle. In the February 2022 failure at 70,613 miles and the March 2022 pass at 70,664 miles, the odometer advanced only 51 miles between tests. Total recorded mileage of 70,664 across 23 years equates to approximately 3,072 miles per annum. The MOT history supplied is sparse, containing just two entries nine days apart, which limits any meaningful assessment of long-term wear patterns or recurring fault trends. The February 2022 failure carries no listed defects, an irregular outcome that suggests an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The subsequent March 2022 pass with zero advisories means the DVSA record flags no outstanding concerns with suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection given the four-year gap since the last test and the vehicle's age. Particular attention should go to structural integrity beneath the sills and chassis rails where standing vehicles develop corrosion, plus checks on perished rubber components, binding calipers from disuse, and flat-spotted tyres caused by long stationary periods.
