Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a buyer s
Given the low mileage relative to its age, your primary focus should be on verifying the service intervals. While the MOT history is clean, you should request evidence of oil and filter changes to ensure the 1586cc petrol engine has been maintained despite the low usage.
When inspecting this specific silver SX4, check the condition of the tyres, as the 2023 failure indicates a previous period of neglect in this area. Additionally, because the model aggregate data highlights suspension arms and brake pipes as common failure points for the SX4, perform a thorough visual inspection of the underside for corrosion or weeping components.
The 1.6L petrol engine is generally efficient for a compact crossover, though real-world fuel economy will depend on driving style. This vehicle likely sits in a moderate insurance group and a standard road tax band for a 2009 petrol model.
Maintenance costs for Suzuki models tend to be predictable, but you should budget for tyre replacements more frequently if the vehicle is driven in urban environments. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Start by inspecting the tyres; the 2023 MOT failure specifically noted both nearside and offside front tyres were below the 1.6mm legal limit. Ensure all four tyres have healthy tread and no uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues.
Secondly, pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems. While this specific vehicle has passed its recent tests without issue, the aggregate data for the SX4 identifies suspension arms and brake pipes as frequent failure points. Check for any knocking sounds from the front end during a test drive and inspect the brake lines for signs of corrosion or damage.
This 2009 silver Suzuki SX4 has covered 54,951 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 6,371 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with only one recorded failure in 2023 related to tyre tread depth. For a vehicle of this age, the recorded mileage and recent clean test results present a compelling value proposition.
Aggregate data for the Suzuki SX4 shows an 80.5% average MOT pass rate, with common issues typically involving tyres, suspension arms, and brake pipes.
