2019 Suzuki Vitara 1.0L Petrol · SN68 AAC

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean passing record over the last several years. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 66,244 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged the nearside rear inner brake pads as wearing thin. This indicates a minor consumable maintenance requirement rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The absence of defects during the February 2025 test at 58,069 miles suggests a period of consistent upkeep following previous minor advisories. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical UK usage for a seven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 66,244 miles, averaging roughly 9,500 miles per year. The progression from 34,713 miles in January 2022 to 66,244 miles in February 2026 shows steady, predictable driving patterns without evidence of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive heavy-duty use. The data gaps between tests are standard, following the annual MOT cycle. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The record shows a history of tyre wear issues, specifically in the January 2022 and November 2022 tests where tyres were noted as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on edges. While these are consumable items, the recurring nature of these advisories suggests the previous owner may have been reactive rather than proactive regarding tyre replacement. The January 2022 advisory regarding a binding offside rear service brake should also be checked to ensure the caliper is operating freely and has not caused uneven pad wear. Beyond the brakes and tyres, the vehicle's overall mechanical history is remarkably clean. No issues regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion have appeared in the recorded data. Given the recent advisory regarding thin brake pads, a thorough check of the remaining brake pad thickness and disc surface condition is recommended to ensure no immediate replacement is necessary.
