2021 Suzuki Vitara SZ-T Boosterjet Mhev 1.4L Hybrid electric · KV71 DXF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 21 October 2025 at 52,543 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows only minor cosmetic issues rather than recurring mechanical failures. While the latest test identified a chipped windscreen and a deteriorating rear registration plate, these are non-critical defects that do not indicate underlying mechanical neglect or instability. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 34,380 miles and the October 2025 test, the car covered 18,163 miles. This specific spike in usage suggests regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps keep seals lubricated and prevents brake components from seizing. A buyer should pay attention to the recurring issues noted in the previous history. The 2024 test flagged a nearside rear tyre worn to 2.7mm and showing edge-wear, which can indicate a slight alignment issue or uneven suspension wear. Furthermore, the repeated delamination of the rear registration plate across two years suggests minor cosmetic neglect that should be addressed to ensure legal compliance. A physical inspection should verify that the current tyres have adequate tread and that the windscreen chip has not spread due to stress or temperature changes.
