Our Verdict
Highly recommended. This silver Suzuki V
When purchasing this vehicle, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOTs are clear, ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed at the manufacturer's recommended intervals to maintain the 1.6L engine.
Check for evidence of brake disc replacement in the service records, as the 2022 advisories for worn, pitted, or scored inner discs would have required attention to prevent a future failure. Negotiate based on the remaining tread depth of the tyres, as these are a common wear item for this model.
The 1.6L petrol engine provides a straightforward ownership experience, avoiding the complexities of diesel particulate filters or hybrid batteries. Fuel economy is typical for a petrol small SUV, and insurance costs should align with the standard group for this model.
Maintenance costs are generally moderate for the Vitara. Given the low annual mileage, routine servicing and the annual tax band for a 2018 petrol vehicle should keep the overall cost of ownership manageable.
Inspect the front braking system specifically, as the 2022 MOT recorded that both the nearside and offside front inner brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. Ensure these were replaced or refurbished.
Additionally, check the anti-roll bar and windscreen wipers, as aggregate data shows these are top failure reasons for the Vitara range. Finally, perform a visual inspection of the silver paintwork and body panels for any age-related blemishes not captured in MOT records.
This 2018 1.6L petrol model has recorded five MOT tests since its first registration in September 2018, all of which resulted in passes. The current mileage is 48,504, which is lower than the aggregate average for this model. The history is notably clean, with the only recorded defects being minor brake disc advisories in 2022.
The Suzuki Vitara demonstrates a solid reliability reputation with an aggregate MOT pass rate of 88.2%.
