Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those looking for a practical hatchback with a consistent MOT record. The vehicle shows a positive trend in recent testing, suggesting it has been maintained to pass road standards.
When viewing this specific SX4, verify that the service history aligns with the mileage intervals, as the MOT records alone do not confirm mechanical maintenance. Given the failure in December 2023 at 77,747 miles, ask the owner what the specific fault was to ensure it wasn't a recurring mechanical issue.
Check for signs of rust on the underbody, particularly around the suspension components and sills, which is common for cars of this age. Ensure the gearbox shifts smoothly and the clutch isn't slipping, as these can be costly items to rectify on older Suzutis.
The 1586cc engine is relatively tax-efficient, typically delivering between 35-40 mpg depending on driving conditions. It falls into a mid-to-low insurance group, making it affordable for a variety of drivers.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally low as parts are widely available and simple. You should budget for annual servicing and routine wear items, with an estimated total annual running cost between £700 and £1,000.
Focus your inspection on the 2023 MOT failure; although the car passed shortly after, it is important to know if the failure was for a component that required replacement. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues common on the SX4's suspension setup.
Check the brake discs for excessive wear or pitting, as the recent MOTs showed no recorded defects but physical components still degrade over time. Also, check for any leaks leaks from the engine bay and ensure the blue paintwork is clean and dry.
This 2008 Suzuki SX4 sits at approximately 91,847 miles, which is consistent with average usage for an 18-year-old vehicle. While it experienced one MOT failure in late 2023 at low mileage, it has passed the last three consecutive tests with no defects recorded. The 1.6-litre petrol engine offers a balance of performance and simplicity, though the blue paint remains a common colour choice.
No aggregate data is available for this specific model, but the Suzuki SX4 is generally regarded for its robust and simple mechanical design.
