2009 Suzuki SX4 1.9L Diesel · SC09 FRP

The most recent MOT on 26 November 2024 at 99 871 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle was roadworthy at that time. The sequence of results – Pass, Pass, a single Fail without recorded faults, then two further Passes – shows a stable maintenance trend, with no recurring deficiencies evident in the official record. Across the 17‑year lifespan the car has accumulated 99 871 miles, averaging roughly 5 900 miles per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age. Mileage rose from 82 496 miles in October 2019 to 88 082 miles a year later (+5 586 miles), then to 95 371 miles by November 2021 (+7 289 miles). A modest increase of 32 miles was logged between the 19 November 2021 failure and the 29 November 2021 pass, suggesting the vehicle was driven very little in that interval. The final jump to 99 871 miles by November 2024 (+4 468 miles) remains consistent with the low‑usage pattern. No abrupt mileage spikes or prolonged idle periods appear in the data, and the record contains no gaps that would obscure service history. A prospective buyer should focus the physical inspection on components that typically wear with mileage despite the low overall use. Verify tyre tread depth and uniformity, as tyres are consumables that may have been replaced irregularly. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of corrosion or fatigue, especially around the front lower arms where low‑speed wear can develop unnoticed. Inspect brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding calipers, given that no brake‑related defects were logged but a failure was noted in 2021 without detail. Check the under‑body for rust ingress, particularly around wheel arches and the chassis rails, and confirm that exhaust emissions meet current standards, as the MOT record does not capture emissions failures but a blank failure entry could mask an issue. Ensuring these areas are sound will complement the clean MOT history and provide confidence in the vehicle’s ongoing roadworthiness.
