2018 Suzuki SX4 1.0L Petrol · FM18 VCN

The Suzuki SX4 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 13 August 2025 at 54,000 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination clearing clean aside from two anomalous failures on the same dates as passes in 2023 and 2025 that logged no defects, indicating administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or worn components appear at any stage. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 39,336 miles on 16 August 2023, rising to 46,770 miles by 30 July 2024 and 54,000 miles by 13 August 2025. That equates to roughly 7,400 miles per year, marginally above the 6,750 average and reflecting consistent, light-to-moderate use with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The clean test sheets across those dates suggest the previous owner kept basic consumables within limits. Given the absence of flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues, the buyer faces low technical risk from the documented history. The duplicated fail-and-pass entries on 16 August 2023 and 13 August 2025 with zero defects imply clerical re-submissions, not recurring mechanical trends, so no worsening pattern exists. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm underbody structural integrity and check for latent corrosion unseen at test, along with measuring brake caliper operation and tyre tread depth despite no advisories. The sparse, clean record offers reassurance, but physical verification of suspension and drivetrain remains sound practice at 54,000 miles.
