2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0L Diesel · CV04 NAA

The 2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara holds a current roadworthy status following a pass on 17 March 2026 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the vehicle failed two consecutive tests immediately before its eventual passes in both 2025 and 2026. In each case the failure and pass occurred within days of one another, with no defects logged on either attempt, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical decline. Mileage data shows 115,690 miles at the 21 March 2024 test, rising to 119,178 miles on 19 March 2025 and 119,184 miles the next day. That equates to roughly 3,500 miles per year, a low annual accumulation for a 22-year-old vehicle. The absence of any recorded mileage at the 2026 tests leaves a minor gap, but the sparse history contains no advisories or consumable wear flags across the three years reviewed. Because the DVSA record lists no defects, advisories, or corrosion notes at any point from 2024 to 2026, the buyer cannot infer specific component faults from the MOT alone. The repeated fail-then-pass pattern within 24 to five days suggests the seller or tester corrected a non-mechanical compliance matter quickly rather than addressing worn suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. A prospective buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, underbody corrosion, and binding calipers given the vehicle's 2004 build date. Verify the undocumented 2026 mileage in person and confirm the reason for the March 2025 and March 2026 failures with the testing garages, as the blank defect fields offer no technical explanation for those rejected tests.
