2018 Suzuki Vitara 1.6L Petrol · WD18 ADO

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on July 9, 2025, 109,920 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently achieved passes following initial-test failures. While the record shows immediate failures in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues to maintain legal compliance. The mileage profile indicates high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,740 miles per annum. The data shows consistent accumulation, with the car covering 16,504 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 16,673 miles between the July 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady, high-mile pattern places significant stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples of the same year. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and brake assembly, as the high mileage accelerates wear on these areas. The record does not list specific mechanical failures like leaking dampers or perished control arms, but the recurring failures prior to passing suggest the vehicle may operate on the edge of its consumable service intervals. Inspect the brake discs for signs of thinning and check the structural integrity for underside corrosion to ensure the high annual mileage has not led to accelerated physical degradation of the chassis.
