2016 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · MH02 CTH

The vehicle holds an expired MOT status, as the last recorded test occurred on 11 February 2022 at 27,882 miles. Because the vehicle has not undergone a formal inspection in over four years, its current roadworthiness is unknown and cannot be verified. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories during that final test suggests the car was in a sound mechanical state at the time, but this data is now significantly aged and does not reflect the current condition of the vehicle. The recorded mileage of 27,882 miles over a ten-year lifespan indicates an average annual usage of approximately 2,788 miles. This low-mileage profile is atypical for a vehicle of this age and suggests long periods of inactivity. While low mileage often preserves engine internals and drivetrain components, extended storage can lead to specific issues such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber components, and fuel system degradation. The lack of test data between 2022 and the present day represents a major gap in the vehicle's maintenance history. Prospective buyers must conduct a thorough physical inspection to account for the four-year lapse in testing. Focus specifically on the brake discs and pads, as these are prone to corrosion and binding when a vehicle remains stationary for long durations. Check all suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or surface rust, as these rubber and metal components deteriorate regardless of whether the car is driven. Verify the condition of the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking, and ensure the exhaust system remains structurally sound, as internal moisture buildup during storage often accelerates corrosion from the inside out.
