2014 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Diesel · NA64 AEF

The 2014 Suzuki SX4 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 16 June 2025 confirming full compliance at 78,233 miles. There are no recorded defects across any of the five tests since June 2022, though the near-consecutive failure in June 2024 (75,414 miles) and immediate retest pass (75,415 miles) suggests either a minor oversight or a brief period of uncertainty in maintenance. The absence of advisories or recurring faults implies the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical issues, but the lack of defects does not preclude gradual wear on high-mileage components. The recorded mileage of 78,233 miles over 12 years equates to an average of approximately 6,500 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps between tests, with the most recent MOT occurring just over a year ago, well within the DVSA’s 12-month interval. The slight increase in mileage between tests—around 2,800 miles per year—indicates consistent use without prolonged periods of disuse, which could have accelerated corrosion or suspension degradation. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points on this model at this mileage. The brakes, including rear caliper binding and front disc thickness, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salted conditions. Tyre condition, including tread depth and lateral wear patterns, should also be scrutinised, as the lack of advisories does not guarantee they have been maintained. Finally, a visual inspection of the underbody, wheel arches, and subframe for corrosion is essential, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediate MOT failure.
