2018 Suzuki Vitara 1.6L Petrol · LS18 GVA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 91,313 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a recurring issue regarding restricted inspection access. The tester noted twice that manufactured body and engine covers prevented a full visual inspection of the chassis and mechanical components. While the car has passed without major failures, this persistent physical obstruction limits a thorough assessment of potential structural corrosion or fluid leaks. The mileage progression is consistent with typical UK usage for a petrol SUV, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per annum. There is a significant jump of over 21,000 miles between January 2022 and December 2022, followed by a steady increase of roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles in subsequent annual intervals. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits the health of the rubber seals and drivetrain components at the 91,000-mile mark. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension geometry. The December 2022 test flagged the offside rear service brake as binding, and the December 2024 test identified an offside rear tyre worn unevenly on the edge near the legal limit. This combination often indicates a persistent alignment issue or a sticking caliper that is causing premature tyre wear. A physical inspection must verify that the rear brake assembly is now operating freely and that the suspension bushes are not perished, given the high mileage.
