2023 Suzuki Vitara SZ-T Boosterjet Mhev 1.4L Hybrid electric · KE72 ABX

A clean roadworthiness profile defines this vehicle, as evidenced by the absence of any recorded defects or advisories during its most recent MOT on 19 January 2026. The testing history shows a consistent standard of compliance with no previous failures or mechanical warnings noted on the official DVSA record, indicating that all inspected components met the required safety and environmental standards at the time of testing. The vehicle exhibits an unusually low usage profile for its age, having covered only 9,026 miles over approximately three years. This equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 3,009 miles, which is significantly below the typical UK average for a petrol-hybrid vehicle. While low mileage generally implies less wear on mechanical components such as the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and braking system, such infrequent use can sometimes mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which may affect the condition of rubber seals or fluid circulation. Given the lack of any recorded advisories regarding suspension, steering, or braking components, a test drive should focus on verifying that the low mileage has not resulted in any issues related to long-term inactivity. Listen for any unusual knocks or knocks from the suspension linkages or coil springs when traversing uneven surfaces, as these can sometimes manifest if a vehicle has not been driven regularly. Pay close attention to the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or judder, and ensure the steering remains centered without pulling to either side, which would indicate the integrity of the steering rack and wheel alignment. Since there are no recorded oil leaks or exhaust emissions issues, the engine should be monitored for smooth idling and consistent power delivery through the mild-hybrid system. Check for any evidence of fluid weeping around the engine bay or under the chassis, despite the clean MOT record, to ensure that any minor seepage that might have occurred since the January test has not developed. The absence of recorded corrosion on the subframe or exhaust system suggests the structural integrity remains intact according to the latest inspection.
