2008 Suzuki SX4 1.9L Diesel · GL08 LUR

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of intermittent testing failures. The most recent inspection conducted on 06 March 2025 at 120,799 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows failures in 2022 and 2023, the progression to a clean test certificate suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to an acceptable standard. At 120,799 miles, the Suzuki has averaged approximately 6,711 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage for an eighteen-year-old hatchback. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with 3,715 miles covered between September 2022 and August 2023, and another 7,454 miles between August 2023 and March 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car does not suffer from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized brake components or perished fluid degradation in older vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that likely triggered the previous failures, although the specific defect codes are not provided in this summary. Given the age and mileage, a close look at the suspension bushes and coil spring seats is necessary, as these are common points of wear on this model. The buyer should also verify the structural integrity by checking for corrosion along the sills and rear wheel arches, as older Suzukis are prone to surface rust regardless of a clean MOT history.
