2019 Suzuki SX4 1.4L Petrol · RO69 VCM

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward mechanical attention in the most recent inspection. In the December 2025 test carried out at 24,299 miles, the car passed but was flagged for a front oil leak and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. While these did not result in a failure, the appearance of the leak suggests the vehicle is beginning to show age-related seal degradation that was absent in previous years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, moving from 10,146 miles in December 2022 to 24,299 miles by late 2025. This low-frequency use typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to issues such as surface corrosion on brake discs or the drying of rubber hoses if not driven regularly. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the engine bay to identify the source of the front oil leak noted in 2025, specifically checking the way oil cover gasket or the front crank seal. The nearside front tyre requires immediate replacement as it was already near the limit and showed edge wear, which may indicate a slight alignment issue. Because the 2023 test was hindered by a child seat preventing full belt inspection, a manual check of the adult seatbelt is necessary to ensure it is in good condition and free of fraying.
