2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.9L Diesel · FN07 OSU

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of roadworthiness, with the most recent recorded test on 27 May 2022 resulting in a pass. This follows a failure just two days prior on 25 May 2022, though the specific mechanical cause for that failure was not documented in the provided record. Because the last recorded test occurred over four years ago, the current roadworthiness status cannot be verified through official DVSA data. The recorded mileage of 159,126 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 8,375 miles over the vehicle's 19-year lifespan. This represents a typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. However, the lack of any MOT entries between May 2022 and the current date of 31 August 2026 creates a significant data gap. This absence of recent testing means the current state of consumables and mechanical components remains unknown. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to compensate for the expired MOT data. Priority should be given to checking for structural corrosion, particularly on the chassis and sills, which is common in older 4x4 vehicles. The tester should also examine the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. Given the time elapsed since the last recorded pass, checking for perished rubber components, leaking shock absorbers, and the integrity of the exhaust system is essential.
