2018 Suzuki SX4 1.0L Petrol · DF18 MKA

The vehicle presents with a consistently clean MOT pass history across five consecutive annual tests, the most recent being June 2025 at 35,094 miles. No defects or advisories were recorded at any inspection, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no recurring mechanical or structural issues identified by the official tester. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,387 miles per year. The recorded mileages show a steady, predictable increase between tests: from 6,582 miles in mid-2021 to 13,470 in mid-2022, 21,366 in mid-2023, 27,545 in mid-2024, and finally 35,094 in mid-2025. This pattern suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of static storage, as the annual increments are consistent. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on age-related degradation, as the MOT history does not flag component wear. Priority areas include the tyres for age-cracking or uneven wear from low mileage, all rubber suspension bushes and engine/gearbox mounts for perishing, and the exhaust system for corrosion not always caught in the test. Inspect the vehicle's underside and wheel arches for any structural rust, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as this is a critical safety item not fully quantified by a pass certificate. The brake discs should be examined for excessive corrosion from light use, and all fluid levels and belts checked for age-related deterioration.
