2006 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · DA06 OYO

The 2006 Suzuki SX4 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 14 July 2025 at 96,070 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The tester logged no defects at that test. A failed entry on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects recorded points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass confirms the car cleared the requirements. Annual mileage sits low for a twenty-year-old vehicle. The record shows 76,895 miles in June 2022, rising to 83,928 by July 2023, 92,769 by July 2024, and 96,070 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 4,800 miles per year overall, with yearly increments between 6,000 and 9,000 miles in the documented period. No large gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories or recorded wear on consumables, suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Low use over two decades can allow moisture to sit in sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, so check for structural rust and perished rubber components that an MOT with no advisories may not have flagged in depth. Examine the brake calipers for binding after standing, and verify tyre sidewall condition given the age of the rubber even if tread met limits. The clean test lineage suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, but the duplicate 2025 entry shows the paperwork needs scrutiny at point of sale. Confirm the V5C matches the July 2025 pass and treat the zero-advisory record as a prompt for independent verification rather than assurance of component life.
