2011 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · YN11 KPX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in mechanical and structural attention. While it passed its latest test in May 2026 at 63,911 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior at 63,910 miles. The failure revealed a parking brake efficiency below legal requirements alongside multiple other defects. The immediate pass indicates the owner addressed the brake issue, but the recurring nature of other faults suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. At 63,911 miles, this 15-year-old Suzuki has exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 4,260 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a 1,900-mile gap between May 2024 and April 2025, and a 1,000-mile interval between April 2025 and May 2026. This low annual mileage often correlates with age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear, which is evidenced by the repeated reports of perished tyres and corrosion despite the low distance covered. A buyer must inspect the rear axle for the extent of the corrosion flagged in the 2026 tests, as surface rust can quickly transition into structural weakness if left unmanaged. The recurring report of front tyres wearing on the outer edges across 2024 and 2026 indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that requires a professional diagnostic check. Additionally, the repeated cracking and perishing of the rear tyres across three tests suggests the rubber is aging out due to long periods of standing, necessitating immediate replacement regardless of the remaining tread depth.
