2010 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · CV10 BCX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The MOT conducted on 10 November 2022 at 47,958 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car was in a clean condition at that time. While a failure occurred earlier on 18 July 2022 at the same mileage, the immediate pass upon re-test suggests the owner was proactive in addressing any identified faults quickly. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows a significant concentration of activity in late 2022, with only 493 miles driven between the July failure and the November pass. This low usage suggests the car has been used for short trips, which often preserves mechanical components like the drivetrain and engine. However, the long gap since the last recorded test in November 2022 means the vehicle has gone nearly four years without official certification, raising questions about the current state of rubber-based components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage and age. Dry rot on the tyres, perished wiper blades, and seized suspension bushes are common risks for vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. Because the last test is several years old, a thorough check of the brake discs for corrosion and the condition of brake fluid is essential. Given the vehicle's age, inspecting the chassis for structural integrity and surface rust remains a priority regardless of the low recorded mileage.
