2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara SZ4 2.4L Petrol · BFZ 5395

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent test on December 4 2025 with 201,266 miles and no recorded defects. While the history shows intermittent failures in 2023 and 2024, the recent trend indicates that the owner is actively addressing issues to maintain compliance. The clean report from the last two tests suggests that the immediate mechanical and safety concerns are currently within acceptable parameters despite the high cumulative mileage. At 201,266 miles over 16 years, this Suzuki reflects a high-use profile averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, as evidenced by the 1,455 miles covered between December 2024 and December 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is often preferable for maintaining seals and mechanical components compared to long periods of inactivity. However, the sheer mileage indicates that the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components have undergone significant stress cycles consistent with long-term road employment. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and chassis to mitigate the high-mileage risks. Given the age and the previous failures recorded, a thorough check for corrosion on control arm bushes, ball joints, and coil springs is essential. The braking system should also be examined for signs of binding calipers or thinning brake discs, as high-mileage vehicles often suffer from accelerated component wear. While the recent MOT is clean, the structural integrity of the underbody remains a priority to ensure that rust has not developed between the annual testing intervals.
