2015 Suzuki Vitara 1.6L Petrol · DG65 WGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical wear. While the car maintained three consecutive passes between 2022 and 2024, the most recent test in October 2025 at 78,169 miles identified three distinct advisories. This indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where components require proactive attention after a long period of relatively clean operation. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between October 2024 at 71,658 miles and October 2025 at 78,169 miles, the car covered 6,511 miles. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme annual stress, though the appearance of advisories in the latest test suggests that age-related degradation of rubber components is beginning to manifest regardless of the distance driven. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the nearside front wheel bearing, which was flagged for slight play in the 2025 test. This component will require replacement soon to prevent further instability or premature hub damage. The history also shows a recurring pattern of tyre neglect, with faults noted in 2021 and 2025 regarding uneven wear and perishing. The buyer should check the depth and condition across all four tyres, as the record suggests previous owners may have replaced tyres only when they reached legal limits rather than performing preventative maintenance.
