2011 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · SA61 ADV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection on 10 September 2025 at 56,682 miles. While the record shows initial failures on the same dates in both 2024 and 2025, the owner successfully rectified the underlying issues to achieve a pass. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three passes suggests that the mechanical and structural components remained within acceptable tolerances of the DVSA standards during the testing intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,779 miles per year. Between August 2023 at 52,234 miles and August 2024 at 54,243 miles, the car covered only 2,009 miles, followed by another 2,439 miles in the subsequent year. This low usage often indicates reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, seals, and brake systems due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting, as low-mileage vehicles of this era often suffer from surface corrosion that accelerates when stationary. Inspect the brake discs for pitting and the calipers, as infrequent use can lead to seized components or uneven wear. Given the previous failures prior to the passes, verifying the condition of the suspension bushes and exhaust system is essential to ensure that the previous faults were permanently addressed rather than merely masked.
