2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.7L Petrol · KF53 AUT

This vehicle holds a valid MOT pass from June 2025 at 164,462 miles, secured on the second attempt following a failure one week earlier. With no defects or advisories recorded across the last three annual test cycles, the maintenance trend is stable and notably clean for a vehicle of this age. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 7,100 miles per year, which is typical for a 23-year-old SUV. The car covered approximately 16,000 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, a slightly higher annual rate than the previous period’s 13,000-mile increase, but nothing that signals severe or unusual usage. The failures each year appear to have been immediate retests, with near-identical mileages on the fail and pass entries, indicating the same test session rather than prolonged unroadworthy driving. Because the MOT record lists zero advisories and zero defects on every pass, the history does not point toward any specific weak spot. That is reassuring on paper, but it also means a buyer cannot rely on the record to highlight wear. A hands-on inspection should cover suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding, plus corrosion on the chassis and sills, which are common on this model and age. Check tyre condition and wiper blades as consumables, and confirm the retest faults were genuinely rectified rather than simply presented for re-examination. The history is unusually clean, so any hidden issues would only surface through a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
