2014 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · NG14 ACF

The 2014 Suzuki SX4 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-28 confirming compliance at 110,765 miles. However, the preceding test on 2025-07-25 at the same mileage recorded a failure, though no defects were detailed. This inconsistency suggests potential issues with testing accuracy or unresolved mechanical concerns. The absence of recorded defects in prior tests from 2022 to 2024 indicates consistent maintenance, but the recent failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it reflects a genuine fault or procedural error. The vehicle’s mileage of 110,765 miles over 12 years aligns with an average of 9,230 miles annually, a typical rate for its age. Tests in 2022, 2023, and 2024 occurred at 74,697, 84,946, and 98,653 miles respectively, showing regular intervals. The 2025 tests, however, were conducted within three days of each other at identical mileage, raising questions about the necessity of repeated assessments. This pattern may indicate a failed test requiring reapplication, though the lack of defect details limits definitive analysis. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system, as repeated MOTs without recorded issues could mask underlying problems like binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, should also be checked for wear, given the vehicle’s age. While no structural corrosion or emissions failures are noted, the unexplained 2025 failure underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to verify the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
