2019 Suzuki Vitara 1.4L Petrol · KS69 XST

The vehicle’s MOT record shows a largely clean roadworthiness history, punctuated by a recent failure on 7 June 2024 where both the off‑side and near‑side front windscreen wipers were judged ineffective, while the only other note was a minor advisory in 2022 for a front windscreen chip that did not impair the driver’s view. Apart from that isolated issue, the car has passed every other test without recorded defects, indicating no recurring structural or safety‑critical problems to date. At 62,704 mi after roughly seven years of age the average annual mileage sits just under 9,000 mi, which sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a 2019 Suzuki Vitara. The MOT dates are evenly spaced, with no prolonged gaps that would suggest the vehicle was off the road for extended periods. This steady accumulation points to regular, moderate use rather than periods of intensive high‑speed driving or long storage, meaning wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components is likely to be in line with normal ageing for this mileage. When inspecting the wiper system, verify that both front wipers clear the glass fully at normal speed and that the blades make even contact without streaking. Listen for any irregular whine or grinding from the wiper motor and feel for excessive resistance when the arms are moved by hand; these symptoms can indicate worn motor brushes, degraded linkage bushings or blade wear. Examine the windscreen for any progression of the 2022 chip, checking the surrounding seal for signs of water ingress or delamination that could later affect visibility or cause rust around the wiper pivots. Given the otherwise clean MOT history, the primary focus should be on confirming that the wiper deficiency has been remedied and that the windscreen remains intact. A short test‑drive should include a functional check of the wipers under wet conditions, a visual inspection of the glass for new cracks, and a brief assessment of steering feel to ensure no new vibration has arisen from the wiper motor mounting. If the wiper operation is satisfactory and the glass shows no further damage, the vehicle’s roadworthiness aligns with its recorded performance.
