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

The Suzuki Vitara presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 154,535 miles on 20 February 2026. The maintenance trend reads as stable with no advisories or defects logged across the five available tests. A two-day gap between a failure and the subsequent pass in February 2026 warrants scrutiny, as the 18 February failure at 154,532 miles recorded no defects yet still resulted in a rejection. The odometer shows 154,535 miles against a 2016 build, equating to roughly 15,454 miles annually. This is high for a ten-year-old crossover. Mileage advanced from 115,069 in May 2023 to 132,806 by May 2024, then 147,350 in May 2025, and 154,535 by February 2026. The yearly increments sit near the long-term average with no standing periods or abrupt jumps. The DVSA history is sparse, carrying only passes and one anomalous failure, so no wear-driven consumable or structural faults surface in the data. The clean record offers no flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion items to chase. The February 2026 failure with zero defects suggests an administrative or presentational issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and binding calipers given the mileage, as MOT clearance at this age does not certify component life. Given high annual use, expect tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions components to need routine renewal soon. The previous owner kept the test schedule current and cleared the 2026 rejection within days, implying basic upkeep was maintained despite the mileage.
