Our Verdict
This is a sensible option for those seek
When inspecting this specific grey Vitara, your primary focus should be the tyres. The April 2026 MOT recorded both nearside front and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This suggests potential alignment issues or simply a need for more frequent maintenance checks. Ensure you check the tread depth across all four tyres before committing to a purchase.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent tyre replacement or an alignment check to address the edge wear noted in the MOT. Additionally, since the 2026 MOT could not fully inspect the adult seatbelt due to a child seat being fitted, you should personally verify that all seatbelt mechanisms are fully functional and unobstructed.
As a 1.4L BoosterJet MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle), this Vitara is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a moderate insurance group and a relatively low tax band. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small SUV, benefiting from the hybrid assistance.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically predictable, though you should account for the tyre replacement identified in the MOT history. Based on the model's aggregate data, brake pads are a common failure point across the fleet, so factor these into your long-term maintenance budget. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,100-£1,400, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Start by inspecting the tyres thoroughly. The MOT record specifically flagged nearside front and offside front tyres for being worn on the edges and near the legal limit. Look for uneven wear patterns which could indicate suspension or tracking issues.
Secondly, check the interior for any child restraint systems that might obscure the inspection of the seatbelts, as this was a noted issue in the 2026 MOT. Finally, while no brake defects were recorded in this specific vehicle's history, the aggregate data for this model shows brake pads as a top failure reason, so inspect the pads and discs for excessive wear or scoring.
This 2021 Suzuki Vitara SZ-T BoosterJet MHEV shows a consistent MOT history with three recorded tests. The mileage of 26,500 at the time of the last MOT is slightly above the model average of 7,755 per year, but remains within reasonable parameters for a five-year-old vehicle. While the 2024 and 2025 tests were defect-free, the 2026 inspection revealed tyre wear issues that require attention.
The Suzuki Vitara shows a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 92.6% across 9,178 analysed vehicles, with tyres and brake pads being the most common maintenance items.
