2016 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · P17 RAS

The 2016 Suzuki SX4 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-11-01 at 102,859 miles recording a pass with no defects. This aligns with prior successful tests from 2024 and 2023, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, the gap between the 2025 test and the current date of 2026-07-15 exceeds the standard annual MOT cycle, raising questions about compliance. The 2023-01-10 entry shows a failed test at 66,763 miles, yet no defects were recorded, creating an inconsistency that warrants verification with the DVSA. Mileage progression from 66,763 to 102,859 miles over four years reflects a steady annual average of ~10,286 miles, aligning with typical usage for the vehicle’s age. No abrupt spikes or extended inactivity periods are evident, indicating regular operation. The absence of recurring defects in the MOT history suggests the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the 2023 failed test’s unresolved nature implies potential oversights. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including disc wear and caliper function, should be checked for hidden issues, as these are common failure points. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as minor corrosion or emission system faults may not trigger immediate MOT failures. The lack of advisories in recent tests is reassuring but does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
