2009 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · FV09 WCK

The 2009 Suzuki SX4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 81,780 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests show no advisories or recurring faults. The vehicle's history indicates consistent statutory compliance with no mechanical or structural concerns raised by DVSA testers across the available record. Mileage stands at 81,780 against a 17-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,811 miles per year. The record shows light and steady use: 76,648 miles at the December 2022 test, rising to 78,645 by November 2023, 79,328 by November 2024, and 81,780 by September 2025. A single failed test appears on 21 November 2023 at 78,645 miles with no defects logged, corrected and passed one day later at 78,646 miles. Low annual accumulation suggests prolonged standing periods likely occurred, though the clean pass history implies the previous keeper addressed statutory requirements without neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Standing time accelerates perishable component degradation and trapped moisture promotes structural rust even when MOT tests show clear. Brake discs and calipers warrant checks for binding or pitting from intermittent operation. The absence of advisories across five years of testing reflects favourably on prior upkeep. Verify service history and underbody condition before purchase, as MOT clearance alone does not confirm consumable maintenance on a low-mileage elderly hatchback.
