2015 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · LP64 WLO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The most recent test on 8 May 2026 at 89,767 miles resulted in a failure due to inoperative stop lamps and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the recurrence of tyre-related failures suggests the owner often waits for components to reach the failure point before replacing them. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,160 miles per year. There is a steady progression from 68,490 miles in May 2023 to 75,490 miles in April 2024, followed by a more significant jump of 14,250 miles between the May 2025 and 2026 tests. This recent increase suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally aligns with the wear patterns observed on rubber components and braking surfaces. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the May 2025 test flagged both front discs as pitted and scored. Although these were not considered seriously weakened at that time, the pitting indicates surface corrosion or prolonged use that may lead to uneven braking. The recurring mentions of tyres worn on the edges across the 2023 and 2026 tests warrant a check of the wheel alignment and suspension bushes to ensure they are not causing premature tyre wear.
