2020 Suzuki Vitara 1.4L Petrol · LS20 HTO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 6 July 2026 at 59,765 miles passed, yet it flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This indicates that while the vehicle remains mechanically functional for the MOT standard,ing of basic consumable items is only being addressed once they approach failure thresholds. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the June 2023 test at 24,369 miles and the June 2024 test at 35,885 miles, the car covered 11,516 miles. The most recent interval saw 12,237 miles covered between June 2025 and 2026. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use, which typically helps maintain even wear on rubber components and prevents fluid degradation. A buyer should pay close attention to the front axle assembly and braking system. The June 2024 record at 35,885 miles noted worn front pads and pitted, scored brake discs on both sides. While these were likely replaced given the subsequent pass, the recurring edge wear on front tyres in 2026 suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection of the front wish arms and ball joints is necessary to ensure that the uneven tyre wear is not caused by premature failure of steering components.
