2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.6L Petrol · SD08 AEF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following the pass on 8 December 2023 at 95,241 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and remarkably clean, as the record shows no recorded defects or advisories across the last three annual inspections. While the vehicle failed its initial attempts in both 2022 and 2023, these failures occurred within a 24-hour window of the successful tests, suggesting these were likely administrative or minor rectifications rather than indicative of systemic mechanical failure. The recorded mileage of 95,241 over an 18-year lifespan averages to approximately 5,291 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. The data indicates consistent, light usage patterns with no evidence of long-term storage or excessive rapid accumulation. The progression from 91,183 miles in May 2021 to the current figure shows a steady, low-intensity operational history, which typically preserves drivetrain components but can occasionally lead to issues with seized components or perished rubber seals due to infrequent heat cycles. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the underside, specifically looking for corrosion on the chassis and structural members, as the clean MOT history does not account for cosmetic or non-testable surface oxidation. You should also check the condition of the suspension bushes and the exhaust system, as these components often deteriorate on older vehicles that cover low annual mileages. Verify that the brakes operate smoothly without signs of binding, as the lack of recorded advisories suggests the vehicle may have spent long periods stationary, which can cause discs and calipers to seize despite a clean pass on a rolling road test.
