2017 Suzuki Vitara 1.6L Petrol · GS 6738

The 2025‑07‑29 MOT at 40,056 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle’s maintenance trend remains stable. All previous tests from 2022 to 2024 also recorded passes, with the exception of a failure on 2023‑08‑10 that was immediately followed by a pass on the same day after remedial work. At nine years old, the 40,056‑mile odometer equates to roughly 4,451 miles per year, a figure lower than typical for a vehicle of this age. The interval from the 2022‑08‑09 test (24,269 miles) to the 2023‑08‑10 test (29,399 miles) shows an accumulation of 5,130 miles in one year, and subsequent intervals from 2023‑08‑10 to 2024‑08‑14 (5,422 miles) and from 2024‑08‑14 to 2025‑07‑29 (5,235 miles) demonstrate consistent yearly mileage growth without prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the near‑side front tyre for the previously recorded cut, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and examine the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or binding. The brake discs and rear calipers should be checked for binding or corrosion, as the MOT history shows no explicit brake defects but does not rule out hidden wear. Any signs of structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches or underbody mounts must also be confirmed, since the record contains no formal rust advisories but low mileage can mask early corrosion. Overall, the vehicle appears roadworthy based on the latest MOT, but the buyer must confirm tyre integrity, suspension health and structural soundness before final acceptance, as recurring tyre damage and the low annual mileage may indicate intermittent use or deferred maintenance.
