2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.6L Petrol · CE11 AEA

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 7 January 2026 at 61,072 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test on 2 January 2026, the record shows no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue rectified immediately before the successful retest five days later. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 4,071 miles per year. The accumulation has remained consistent and light, increasing from 53,104 miles in January 2023 to 61,072 miles by January 2026. This steady, low-volume usage indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy commercial duty or long-distance commuting. The absence of any advisories or failures regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across five consecutive years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. Such a clean record suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or very light duty cycles. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dormant issues caused by periods of standing. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the tyre rubber for age-related cracking and verify that the brake calipers are not seizing due to inactivity. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough check for underside corrosion and structural rust is essential, as the MOT record does not highlight any previous issues but does not guarantee the absence of surface oxidation.
