Our Verdict
A solid purchase option with a clean rec
When inspecting this Vitara, focus on the tyre condition; although the 2023 MOT noted both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit, you should verify if they have been replaced since that test. Check the condition of the rear wiper assembly to ensure the split rubber noted in previous records has been addressed.
Given the low mileage, it is important to check the service history for oil changes, as engines can sometimes suffer from lack of use if driven very little. Ask the seller for proof of any recent servicing to complement the clean MOT record from June 2026.
The 1586cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group, making it suitable for a range of drivers. Fuel economy for this model is typically efficient for a small SUV, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for Suzuki models are typically predictable, with common consumables like tyres and wiper blades being relatively inexpensive. Expect annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, to sit in a mid-range bracket for this vehicle class.
Based on the 2023 MOT history, pay close attention to the tyre tread depth and evenness of wear, particularly on the front axle. While the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests showed no defects, it is worth checking that the registration plates are clear and securely fastened.
Additionally, inspect the windscreen wiper system, specifically the rear blade, to ensure it operates smoothly without the splitting issues seen in the 2023 record. General inspection of the suspension components is advised, as anti-roll bars are a common failure point for this model across the wider fleet.
This 2018 white Suzuki Vitara has covered 44,736 miles, which is notably lower than the model average of 7,322 miles per year. While the 2023 MOT recorded minor issues with tyres, a registration plate, and a wiper blade, the three subsequent tests have been passed with no defects recorded. The vehicle represents a low-mileage example of the 1.6L petrol variant.
The Suzuki Vitara shows a high average MOT pass rate of 88.2% across the sample, with common issues being limited to anti-roll bars, wipers, and tyres.
