2016 Suzuki SX4 1.0L Petrol · LC66 OTN

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 at 61,614 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of reactive maintenance in early 2024. While the vehicle previously failed due to critical brake and artwork issues, the subsequent clean passes indicate that these immediate mechanical safety risks were addressed, and the car is currently operating within acceptable regulatory parameters. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,160 miles per year. This low-annual usage typically suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, though it can lead to the degradation of rubber components. Between March 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 16,151 miles, representing a steady but light usage pattern. The low mileage explains the presence of tyre perishing noted in 2025, as rubber often ages faster than tread wears when not driven long distances. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system, as the history shows a recurring pattern of thin pads, from an advisory in 2023 to a failure in early 2024. While the pads were clearly replaced, the buyer should check the discs for uneven wear or thinning caused by the previous neglect. Additionally, given the advisories for cracking and perishing tyres in 2025, the age of the rubber should be verified, as sidewall cracking indicates structural failure irrespective of tread depth. Considering the vehicle's age and low mileage, an inspection of the suspension bushes and exhaust corrosion is also warranted to ensure that age-related degradation has not compromised the structural integrity.
