2009 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · SA59 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistently clean record over the last several years. The most recent inspection in August 2024 at 156,128 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car met all safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in August 2023, the immediate rectification allowed for a passing result just four days later, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical failures once identified. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical expectations for a 17-year-old vehicle. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between August 2021 and August 2022, and another 11,700 miles between 2022 and 2023. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent internal seals from drying out or seizing. Given the age of the Suzuki SX4, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related degradation regardless of mileage. Although the MOT history shows no recurring advisories, a buyer must check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, where rust typically develops on this model. The suspension bushes and control arm mounts require close examination for cracking, as rubber components often perish over two decades even with moderate mileage. Checking the brake fluid for moisture and ensuring the calipers are not binding is also prudent.
