2008 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Diesel · LD08 DVT

The vehicle's roadworthiness history demonstrates a generally stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT test conducted on 2025-02-05 resulting in a pass at 97,580 miles. While a failure was recorded on the same date, the record indicates no defects were noted at that time, suggesting that any issues encountered were transient or resolved quickly. The previous tests from 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed with no recorded defects, establishing a consistent pattern of satisfactory mechanical condition over the last three years. The recorded mileage of 97,580 miles over an 18-year-old vehicle represents a relatively consistent usage pattern, averaging approximately 5,421 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is steady, with no sudden spikes that would indicate recent heavy use or significant neglect. This consistent usage suggests that the vehicle has been maintained at a predictable pace, though the history does not provide insight into the quality of preventative maintenance performed between the annual inspections. A buyer should focus their mechanical inspection on key areas typical for this model and mileage. Given the age and usage, thorough checks of the suspension components, including coil springs and suspension bushes, are necessary to ensure structural integrity. Inspection of the brake system, specifically brake discs and pads, should confirm their condition, as these are high-wear items. Finally, a detailed visual inspection for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, is recommended to preempt any long-term rust issues that may not be immediately apparent.
