2014 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Diesel · SD64 AWH

The 2014 Suzuki SX4 has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 16 December 2024, with no defects recorded at 69,234 miles. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, though the absence of advisories or minor faults means no recurring issues have been formally documented. The vehicle’s last MOT was conducted just seven months ago, placing it within the optimal window for pre-purchase assessment—though buyers should still verify recent service records, as MOTs do not cover underlying wear beyond visible defects. The recorded mileage of 69,234 miles over twelve years—approximately 5,770 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for its age. The gap between tests is consistent, with roughly 12-month intervals between MOTs, and no sudden spikes or prolonged inactivity. The near-identical mileage readings on the 2022 tests (51,041 and 51,043) imply either a brief period of non-use or a temporary oversight in logging. While low mileage generally reduces wear on high-stress components, it can also mean deferred maintenance—particularly if the vehicle has been stored without regular checks. Given the lack of documented faults, priority should be given to inspecting suspension components for wear, as coil springs and bushes degrade predictably over time without visible MOT prompts. The brakes, though never failed, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Structural integrity is another critical area; examine the subframe, wheel arches, and sills for corrosion, as rust can compromise safety without triggering MOT failures. Finally, verify tyre tread depth and condition, as the absence of MOT advisories on tyres suggests they may have been replaced recently—but confirm their remaining serviceable life.
