2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5L Petrol · WD05 AFA

The Suzuki Grand Vitara presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 78,195 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle passing its last examination cleanly after a failed attempt the day prior. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five recorded tests between 2024 and 2026. At roughly 21 years old, the vehicle shows 78,195 miles on the odometer, equating to about 3,724 miles per year. This is low for its age and suggests either light use or extended periods of storage. The records confirm minimal accumulation: 73,660 miles on 2 February 2024, 74,150 miles at the failed test on 12 February 2025, 74,183 miles when it passed two days later, and 78,194 miles at the failed test on 18 February 2026. The annual increase stays under 5,000 miles throughout. The two failures on 12 February 2025 and 18 February 2026 carry no listed defects, which points to administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical faults. Low mileage and a clean pass on 19 February 2026 imply the previous owner kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse record limits insight into wear patterns. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion in person, as the MOT history omits advisories that often surface on a 2005 vehicle. Check for binding calipers and exhaust emissions during a cold start, and verify structural integrity around sills and subframes given the age and likely standing periods.
