2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.9L Diesel · FX12 AJO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 94,739 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in March 2025 at 85,086 miles, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass just one month later suggest that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified mechanical faults. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. This low annual usage suggests lighter use, which typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine components. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the vehicle covered 14,877 miles, followed by a more moderate interval of 11,475 miles between March 2024 and April 2025. This steady accumulation indicates regular operation rather than long periods of stationary storage which can often lead to fluid degradation or seized components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for a Suzuki of this age and mileage, despite the clean record. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural integrity along the chassis and sills is necessary to ensure that corrosion has not progressed undetected. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and rubber boots for cracking, as these can perish over time regardless of low mileage. Since the MOT history does not flag recurring brake or exhaust issues, checking the thickness of the brake discs and the state of the exhaust system will confirm if the consumables remain as well-maintained as the paperwork suggests.
