2010 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · CX10 XLP

The Suzuki SX4 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 17 March 2025 at 85,617 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA entries show no defects at any stage, and the latest test cleared the car cleanly after an anomalous same-day failure on 17 March 2025 that recorded no defects, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits low for a 2010 vehicle, averaging roughly 5,351 miles per year against the 85,617 recorded. The records trace a gentle climb: 76,243 miles at the March 2023 test, 81,523 by February 2024, and 85,617 by March 2025. The gap between the March 2023 and February 2024 entries spans eleven months yet adds only 5,280 miles, confirming light use. No rapid accumulation or standing-related gaps raise concern in the data supplied. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT schedule offers no advisory detail on these areas across the lifespan. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks given the car's age and low annual movement, which can allow moisture ingress and perished rubbers to develop unnoticed. The same-day fail-pass pattern in March 2025 with zero defects implies clerical handling rather than owner neglect, and the clean run from 2023 to 2025 indicates previous keepers kept the SX4 to a basic test-standard regime. Given the sparse advisory record, a pre-purchase examination by a Suzuki-aware technician remains the only way to confirm hidden wear.
