2013 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · FL13 XEX

The Suzuki SX4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 August 2025 at 19,975 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests back to 2022 show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not developed any worsening condition over time. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 2013 registration. The car covered just 9,711 miles by the 2 August 2022 test, rose to 10,000 miles on 1 August 2023, then jumped to 14,611 miles by 1 August 2024 before reaching 19,975 miles at the 2025 test. That averages roughly 1,537 miles per year. The clean record with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues suggests the low annual distance has limited consumable and structural wear, though long standing periods between short trips can hide perished seals or flat-spotted tyres not caught in a pass result. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the underbody for structural rust and check the suspension arms and coil springs for age-related cracking, as the MOT only confirms a snapshot on test day. The 1 August 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass logged at 14,611 miles with no defects recorded, a likely administrative DVSA duplication rather than a genuine mechanical fault, but the brake calipers and handbrake mechanism warrant a road test to confirm no binding after the car's low-use history. Given the sparse and clean history, the vehicle shows no recurring problem trend requiring corrective action. Prospective owners should verify service intervals were kept despite the low mileage, since skipped oil changes during dormant years pose a greater risk than high-mileage wear on this model.
