2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.9L Diesel · WF12 RYB

The Suzuki Grand Vitara remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent test in December 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of passing, yet the history reveals a recurring pattern of component wear. While the vehicle consistently avoids major failures, the persistent presence of advisories regarding specific components indicates that parts are being monitored as they deteriorate rather than being replaced on a preventative schedule. The vehicle's mileage is notably low for its 14-year age, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a consistent and slow accumulation of miles between tests, moving from 58,437 miles in early 2022 to 69,671 by late 2025. This low usage suggests the car was likely used for short trips or remained stationary for extended periods, which often leads to specific age-related degradation of rubber components rather than high-mileage mechanical strain. A buyer should prioritize a close physical inspection of the braking system, as the history shows repeatedly pitted and scored discs on all four wheels over the last several years. Because the car has low mileage, these issues likely stem from corrosion from sitting rather than friction from heavy driving. Additionally, the front suspension arm bushes were previously flagged for wear in 2022 and 2023; these should be checked to ensure they have not progressed into excessive movement that could affect handling and tire wear.
