2022 Suzuki Vitara SZ-T Boosterjet Mhev 1.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · EK22 KFL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of neglecting minor safety components until inspection failure. The most recent test in March 2026 at 24,241 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure. While the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, the recurring nature of seat belt failures throughout the testing process suggests that the owner only addresses faults when forced by the MOT tester, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 24,241 miles over four years, the Suzuki Vitara has clocked an average of approximately 6,000 miles per year. This low mileage is consistent with light use, which typically implies less wear on mechanical components like the suspension and drivetrain. Between the March 2025 and the March 2026 tests, the vehicle covered 5,914 miles. This consistent interval suggests a regular usage pattern, though the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on brake components or flat spots if the car sits stationary for long periods between drives. A buyer must inspect the front brake discs in person, as the March 2026 test flagged them as worn, pitted, or scored. Although they were not considered structurally weakened at that time, pitting indicates surface corrosion or heat damage that can affect braking performance. The rear seat belts also require a thorough check, as they were repeated failures in both 2025 and 2026 due to being trapped in latches or behind seats. Ensure all belts retract freely and lock securely without being obstructed by child seats or items blocking the driver's view of the dashboard, which previously caused failures.
