2017 Suzuki Vitara 1.4L Petrol · FX17 CCV

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent MOT on 7 November 2025 at 57,638 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a brief failure on 15 November 2024 at 52,525 miles due to low headlamp aim on both the nearside and offside, which was rectified immediately to secure a pass. The absence of advisories in the last two testing cycles suggests the vehicle is currently in a good state of repair regarding its primary components. The mileage accumulation appears consistent and typical for a 2017 vehicle. The car has covered 57,638 miles over approximately nine years, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year. The data shows steady annual progression, moving from 34,277 miles in November 2021 to 45,915 miles in November 2023, and finally reaching 57,638 miles in November 2025. This regular usage pattern reduces the likelihood of issues caused by long periods of inactivity, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. The November 2022 test at 39,903 miles flagged thin front brake pads and a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. While these are standard consumable wear items, they indicate that maintenance intervals are tied to usage rather than being preemptively addressed. Checking the remaining thickness of the brake discs and the tread depth across all four tyres is advisable to estimate upcoming running costs. Beyond consumables, the lack of recorded structural corrosion or suspension defects in the MOT history is a positive indicator. However, because the record is relatively clean, a manual check of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is recommended to ensure the vehicle's handling remains tight. The recent headlamp aim failure suggests the electrical or mounting components for the lighting system are functional, but a quick check of the headlight adjustment mechanism would confirm the fix was permanent.
