2015 Suzuki Vitara 1.6L Petrol · CK15 XGA

The Suzuki Vitara presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 93,306 miles on 2 September 2025. That clean sheet, recorded just over nine months ago, is significant. It follows a failed test on the same date where the tester flagged a worn brake pedal anti-slip provision and an illegible front registration plate. Both are minor administrative and wear items, and their subsequent resolution without further advisory notices suggests the owner addressed them promptly. The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate through to September 2026. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for an eleven-year-old vehicle. Annualised at roughly 8,482 miles per year, the recorded intervals show steady use. Between the August 2023 test at 66,609 miles and the October 2024 test at 81,332 miles, the vehicle covered 14,723 miles in just over twelve months, indicating a period of heavier use. The subsequent jump to 93,306 miles by September 2025 adds another 11,974 miles in roughly eleven miles, confirming the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left standing. No suspicious gaps or implausible drops appear in the record. The October 2024 test at 81,332 miles provides the most mechanically informative snapshot. Both front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened, while the offside rear brake pads were wearing thin and the offside rear service brake was binding. A binding caliper or sticking slider pin on the rear offside is a condition that generates excessive heat, accelerates pad wear, and can warp discs if left unresolved. The fact that the September 2025 test passed cleanly suggests these items were rectified, but a buyer should still verify the condition of the rear offside caliper, slider mechanism, and handbrake linkage during a physical inspection. Uneven rear brake wear or a pulling sensation under braking would warrant further investigation. Beyond the braking system, the record contains no structural corrosion, suspension, or steering advisories across any test. The recurring minor defects, such as deteriorated registration plates and a nail in the offside rear tyre, point to cosmetic neglect rather than mechanical disregard. A prospective buyer should focus the in-person inspection on the underside for rust, particularly around suspension mounting points and brake lines, and confirm the front brake discs have not developed the pitting pattern noted in 2024. Tyre condition across all four corners, including the spare, should be checked given the historical puncture. Overall, the MOT history reflects a vehicle that has been maintained to a passable standard with no persistent or worsening mechanical faults.
