Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Focus on the service history to ensure the 998cc engine has received regular oil and filter changes. Given the MOT failure in December 2023, verify that the replacement brake discs and pads were fitted to a professional standard.
Use the March 2026 advisory regarding the offside front lower suspension arm as a point for negotiation, as this component will likely require replacement in the near future to avoid a future MOT failure.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, which typically results in lower road tax and insurance premiums. Maintenance costs for this model are generally modest, though specific components like suspension arms are known points of wear.
Annual running costs will primarily consist of fuel, insurance, and routine servicing. Based on the engine size and model type, costs are expected to remain competitive for a vehicle of this age.
Pay close attention to the offside front lower suspension arm, specifically the pin and bush, as the March 2026 MOT identified wear here. This aligns with aggregate data showing suspension arms as a top failure reason for this model.
Check the current condition of the front brake pads and tyres to ensure they have been maintained since the 2023 failure. Additionally, inspect the brake pipes for any signs of corrosion, as this is another common failure point identified in the model's aggregate data.
This white 2018 Suzuki SX4 has recorded 38,203 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. Its MOT history shows a generally clean record, with one failure in December 2023 for brakes and tyres, and a recent pass in March 2026 that included a suspension advisory.
The SX4 has an average MOT pass rate of 80.6% across 42,370 vehicles, with tyres and suspension arms being the most frequent causes of failure.
