2012 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · SY61 CVT

The 2024‑01‑22 MOT at 101,007 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The record shows a stable maintenance pattern, as the 2023‑01‑26 test at 81,692 miles also passed without defects, and the earlier 2022‑01‑24 test at 59,975 miles passed as well, despite two identical‑date entries that likely reflect data duplication rather than recurring faults. At 14 years old, the 101,007 miles equate to roughly 7,215 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The interval from the 2022‑01‑24 test at 59,975 miles to the 2023‑01‑18 failure at 81,366 miles represents an acceleration of about 21,391 miles in eleven months, indicating a period of increased mileage that may have accelerated wear on consumables. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or loss of damping, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding, scoring or corrosion, and check the exhaust system for rust and emission compliance. Visual inspection of the chassis, wheel arches and subframes for rust or structural damage is advisable, as is verification of tyre tread depth and condition of wiper blades, which have shown wear in earlier records. Although no major mechanical failures have been logged since the 2024 test, the rapid mileage increase suggests that suspension and brake components may be approaching the end of their service life, making a thorough in‑person assessment essential before purchase.
