2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.9L Diesel · WL58 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. In the latest inspection on 28 November 2023 at 106,671 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This indicates that any mechanical issues identified during the test were rectified immediately to meet compliance standards. The history shows a pattern of clean passes without recurring advisories across the last three successful tests. The recorded mileage is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. Between November 2021 (95,716 miles) and October 2022 (100,991 miles), the car covered 5,275 miles, showing consistent annual usage. While low mileage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid quality. The data shows no rapid accumulation of miles, suggesting the vehicle has been used primarily for short trips. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as older Suzuki Grand Vitaras are prone to surface corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. Although the MOT history is currently clean, the age of the vehicle means that suspension bushes and coil springs may have perished due to time rather than distance. Given the failures in 2021 and 2023, a thorough check of the braking system and exhaust for leaks is advisable to ensure that the repairs made after those tests remain effective.
