2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.9L Diesel · CU07 JWY

The Suzuki Grand Vitara presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 11 June 2025 at 79,642 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The clean result in that test, showing no defects recorded, follows a pattern of certificate issuance without advisories. This indicates the vehicle currently meets minimum legal standards, though the surrounding history reveals administrative irregularities rather than mechanical decline. The recorded mileage of 79,642 against a 2007 build date equates to roughly 4,192 miles per year, marking this as a low-use vehicle for its nineteen years. Between the June 2023 pass at 78,599 miles and the June 2024 fail at 79,158 miles, the odometer advanced only 559 miles. A further 484 miles accrued by the June 2025 tests. Such minimal annual accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which commonly precipitate perished rubber components, seized calipers, and flat-spotted tyres even where the MOT shows no faults. The test history shows two consecutive fail-pass pairs on 11 June 2024 and 10 to 11 June 2025, each at identical mileages with no defects logged. This pattern points to administrative or documentation failures at the testing station rather than recurring mechanical faults. The absence of any advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across all five entries means the DVSA record offers no evidence of structural or mechanical risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion and check the suspension bushes and brake calipers for binding after prolonged low use. The clean MOT trail does not exempt the vehicle from age-related degradation invisible to the annual test. Verify the timing belt history and fluid condition, as nineteen years of standing will tax rubber and coolant irrespective of the recorded mileage.
