2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.9L Diesel · LS09 NHY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 11 September 2025 at 45,856 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent streak of clean passes over the last five years indicates a vehicle that has been maintained without the recurring mechanical or structural failures that typically plague SUVs of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2009 registered vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered only 4,200 miles, moving from 41,656 to 45,856 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system, the infrequent use often carries risks related to rubber-based components and fluid degradation that an MOT test may not fully capture. Given the lack of recorded faults in the history, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage. A buyer must check for signs of perish in suspension bushes, drive shafts, and brake hoses, which can dry out during long periods of standing. It is also vital to inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear arches and s members, as low mileage does not prevent rust formation in damp environments.
