MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara (HX02 JBV) between March 2006 and November 2021.

The record contains 17 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 12 November 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (13 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Windscreen (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 38 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
