2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.6L Petrol · CV57 THX

The 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no active defects. The most recent test on 30 August 2023 at 118,856 miles returned a pass with no advisories recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2021 to 2022 also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 118,856 against an age of roughly 19 years, equating to about 6,256 miles per year which is typical for this vehicle class. The records show only 1,888 miles accumulated between the June 2021 test at 116,893 miles and the August 2023 test at 118,856 miles, indicating light recent use. A failed test on 30 June 2021 at 116,893 miles was followed by a passing retest the same day at 116,913 miles with no defects listed, suggesting a clerical or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive repair. The clean MOT history with zero advisories across four years means no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust emission issues were flagged by testers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's age, as MOT passes do not certify components free of wear between tests. Given the low annual mileage and standing periods implied by the sparse records, check for perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and seized calipers from disuse. The same-day fail and pass in June 2021 warrants a request for the original refusal reason to confirm no hidden brake or lighting fault was masked by a paperwork correction.
