Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Suzuki Grand Vitara presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 11 September 2025 at 116,772 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with every annual examination clearing clean once any initial failure was resolved. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear in the data. Recorded mileage stands at 116,772 against a 2005 build, an average of roughly 5,561 miles per year. The car covered 7,699 miles between the May 2023 test at 102,492 miles and the May 2024 test at 109,191 miles, then 7,581 miles to the September 2025 test at 116,772 miles. Low annual use for a 21-year-old 4x4 suggests extended standing periods are likely. The DVSA entries are sparse and entirely clean of advisories, offering little insight into wear on consumables or structure. Two failures appear on the same dates as passes, both at 109,191 miles on 17 May 2024 and at 116,728 miles on 11 September 2025, yet the record lists no defects for either. This pattern points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still confirm the V5C and test certificates match these entries. In person, inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related corrosion given the low use and likely damp storage. Check exhaust emissions and structural integrity underneath for rust. The clean record gives no flag for binding calipers or tyre neglect, but a 21-year-old vehicle deserves a physical appraisal beyond the paper history.
