2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.7L Petrol · GL52 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection on 5 November 2025 at 81,054 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. While a failure was noted on 4 November 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults to keep the vehicle roadworthy. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,377 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 4,458 miles, reflecting a trend of light use or long periods of inactivity. This low annual mileage often means less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluids if they are not replaced regularly regardless of distance travelled. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as Suzuki Vitaras of this era are prone to corrosion despite low use. The clean MOT records in recent years suggest the suspension and brakes have been well-maintained, but the buyer should check for perished bushes or seized brake calipers that often occur from sitting. Verifying the condition of the tyres and fluids is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked a neglect of routine maintenance.
