2014 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · EO64 DFA

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, with the most recent test on 14 July 2026 showing no defects. The vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness profile over the last several years, having passed its last three annual inspections without any recorded failures or advisories. While an advisory regarding front brake pad wear was noted in March 2021, the subsequent years of testing have not flagged any recurring issues with the braking system, suspension, or emissions, suggesting the mechanical components have remained within acceptable regulatory limits during their most recent inspections. The recorded mileage of 90,444 miles over a twelve-year period indicates a usage pattern of approximately 7,537 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK driving averages for a vehicle of this age. This moderate annual accumulation suggests that the vehicle has not been subject to excessive high-speed motorway mileage nor has it been left stationary for extended periods, which can often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. From a mechanical standpoint, this level of usage typically means that while consumables like tyres and brake pads will require periodic replacement, the drivetrain and structural components are unlikely to have faced the accelerated wear associated with much higher mileage profiles. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, specifically the front pads and discs, as the 2021 advisory indicated thinning material. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any rhythmic pulsation through the brake pedal or steering wheel when applying pressure at moderate speeds, which could indicate disc warping or uneven pad wear. Additionally, listen for any high-pitched squealing during low-speed braking, which often serves as an early indicator of pad depletion. Although the recent tests have been clear, the age of the vehicle warrants a close examination of the suspension and steering linkages. Given the mileage and age, you should pay attention to any knocks, clunks, or knocks felt when driving over uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, which may point to worn suspension bushes or ball joints. A thorough check of the tyre tread and evenness can also provide insight into whether the vehicle suffers from any underlying alignment issues or worn steering components that were not explicitly flagged in the recent MOT history.
