2019 Suzuki Vitara 1.0L Petrol · AE69 LLW

The vehicle maintains a positive roadworthiness trend, having passed every annual inspection since its first mandatory test. The most recent MOT on 1 September 2025 at 20,749 miles confirms the car remains in a solid mechanical state, though the tester noted the nearside front brake pads were wearing thin at approximately 3mm. This single advisory suggests that while the vehicle has been well-maintained, the braking system is now entering a period where consumable replacement is required. The low total mileage of 20,749 miles over seven years indicates a light usage pattern, averaging roughly 2,964 miles annually. The steady, incremental growth in mileage between the 6,079 miles recorded in September 2022 and the current figure shows consistent, albeit infrequent, use rather than long periods of stagnation. This usage profile typically reduces stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples, though it necessitates a check for seized components resulting from infrequent operation. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front brake discs and pads, as the 3mm advisory from last September indicates these parts will likely require immediate attention. Given the low mileage, inspect the tyres for signs of age-related perishing or sidewall cracking, as the rubber may be original to the vehicle despite having sufficient tread depth. The clean history across all four tests suggests the previous owner adhered to a standard maintenance schedule, but a thorough check of the suspension bushes and exhaust hangers is still recommended to ensure no components have deteriorated through lack of regular movement.
