2016 Suzuki Vitara 1.4L Petrol · LC66 OTW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the maintenance trend showing improvement following a minor failure. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 14,836 miles passed with with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a clean pass in December 2024 at 13,829 miles, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and the vehicle currently meets all standards. The mileage data reflects an exceptionally low usage pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,484 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 11,520 miles and the 2025 test at 14,836 miles, the car covered only 3,316 miles. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, such infrequent use can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and brake surfaces due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres, as the history shows recurring issues here including a 2023 failure for a perished offside front tyre and a 2022 advisory for a nail in the offside rear. Given the low mileage, the rubber compound may show signs of dry rotting or cracking regardless of tread depth. It is also advisable to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles often prevent the pads from effectively clearing rust from the rotors.
