2008 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · LS58 LDO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The last test conducted on 22 July 2022 at 146,713 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects, indicating that the car met all minimum legal safety standards at that time. However, as the current date is June 2026, the MOT is nearly four years out of date and requires an immediate inspection to verify the current mechanical condition and structural integrity of the Suzuki. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,150 miles per year. The record shows a significant gap in testing between February 2019 and November 2020, where the car covered roughly 13,000 miles in 21 months. Since the final recorded test in July 2022, the vehicle has not recorded any additional mileage for the last four years. This suggests a period of low use or stationary storage. While low mileage reduces wear on drivetrain components, it can lead to seized rubber components, perished brake calipers, and internal corrosion within fluid lines. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the chassis and suspension components. Given the vehicle's age and the long interval since the last MOT, a thorough check for structural rust on the sills, floor pans, and mounting points is essential. The previous failures in 2019 and 2020 were resolved prior to those passes, but the lack of specific advisory notes in the history makes it difficult to track the wear of suspension bushes or shocks. Inspect the brakes for binding calipers and ensure the tyres have not beenotted or degraded during the recent period of inactivity.
