2012 Suzuki SX4 2.0L Diesel · SV62 XSE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension and chassis integrity. While the most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 101,165 miles resulted in a pass, it revealed multiple advisories that suggest deferred maintenance on mechanical components. The progression from a worn suspension arm bush in 2023 and 2024 to a failing anti-roll bar linkage linkage in the latest test shows that the front suspension assembly is reaching the end of its functional life. At a recorded mileage of 101,165 miles over 14 years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,226 miles per year. This is consistent with a typical low-to-moderate use profile. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between November 2023 and October 2024, and another 6,800 miles in the year leading to the final test. However, the low mileage has not prevented age-related degradation of rubber components and metalwork, as evidenced by the recurring structural concerns. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underside to assess the extent of the general corrosion noted in October 2025. The presence of a slight oil leak from the rear differential requires close monitoring to ensure it is not an active seal failure. Furthermore, the light misting on both rear shock absorbers indicates they are beginning to fail and will likely require replacement soon. The advisories regarding perishing tyres and uneven wear on the front tyres suggest that basic consumable upkeep has been neglected, necessitating an immediate set of new tyres to ensure safety and grip.
