2018 Suzuki Vitara 1.6L Petrol · KM18 VHF

The June 2026 MOT at 102,654 miles passed with only a near‑side rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. No structural or mechanical failures were logged in the preceding tests, suggesting that previous owners have kept the vehicle in consistent condition. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 35,404 miles in May 2021 to 102,654 miles by June 2026, averaging about 12,800 miles per year, which is high for an eight‑year‑old model. A notable jump occurred between May 2022 (40,277 miles) and May 2023 (51,739 miles), a 11,462‑mile increase in one year, while later annual increments have been more moderate, reflecting a period of steadier use. Recurring tyre wear at 40,277 miles and the recent edge‑wear on the near‑side rear tyre point to possible suspension bush wear, mis‑aligned wheels or harsh driving, while the 2025 registration plate lamp failure hints at intermittent electrical connections that may affect other lighting circuits. No structural rust or major mechanical failures were recorded after 2022, but the tyre issues merit close inspection. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the rear suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers, verify brake disc and pad thickness, check for any corrosion on the chassis and wheel arches, and test the functionality of all exterior lamps, especially the rear registration plate light, to ensure that the previously noted defects have been fully resolved.
