Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a buyer looking for a relatively modern hybrid crossover. Given the recent clean MOT record and mileage, it represents a lower-risk purchase compared to older, high-mileage alternatives.
When inspecting this specific silver Vitara, focus on the hybrid components and the transition between the petrol engine and the mild-hybrid system. While the MOT history is clean, ensure you request documentation of any scheduled servicing required by Suzuki to maintain the hybrid battery warranty.
Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are common wear items that often appear as advisories in later MOT tests. Since this model features the 1.4 BoosterJet engine, verify that the service history confirms oil changes have been performed at the correct intervals to protect the turbocharger.
The 1373cc BoosterJet engine paired with mild-hybrid technology is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a competitive insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy should be relatively high for a small SUV, especially in urban driving environments.
Maintenance costs for Suzuki models are generally considered predictable, though hybrid-specific components may require specialist attention. Expect typical running costs for a modern petrol-hybrid crossover, including regular servicing and standard consumables like tyres and wipers.
Based on the provided MOT history, there are no recorded defects or recurring failure patterns to highlight. This means there are no specific mechanical weaknesses identified through the testing process for this particular registration, YK22LBY.
However, you should perform a general inspection of the silver paintwork for chips and check the interior condition of the SZ-T trim. Given the mileage of 39,025, inspect the suspension components and steering for any signs of premature wear that may not have been flagged in the most recent MOT.
This 2022 Suzuki Vitara SZ-T BoosterJet MHEV has covered 39,025 miles since its first registration in March 2022. The MOT history shows two recorded tests, with the most recent in March 2026 passing without any defects. The vehicle's mileage is consistent with typical usage for a four-year-old hybrid vehicle.
There is currently no aggregate MOT data available to provide a specific reliability rating for the Suzuki Vitara SZ-T BoosterJet MHEV.
