2016 Suzuki SX4 1.6L Petrol · YP66 ACX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 12 May 2026 at 33,183 miles, which recorded no defects. While the car has maintained a consistent pass record, the history shows a recurring pattern of neglected consumable items. The tester identified tyre issues in 2025, 2024, 2021, and 2019, suggesting the previous owners often operated the vehicle with tyres nearing the legal limit or showing signs of perishing. The mileage profile indicates very light usage for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental growth from 13,795 miles in September 2019 to the current 33,183 miles. This low annual mileage supports the observation of tyre perishing noted in the 2021 and 2025 tests, as rubber components often degrade due to age and lack of movement rather than tread wear alone. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and braking components. The 2019 failure specifically flagged front brake pads measuring less than 1.5mm, and the 2024 test noted uneven tyre wear on the edges. This pattern suggests potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. Given the low mileage and the tendency for tyres to crack or perish, a thorough check of the sidewalls and the condition of all suspension bushes and steering components is advisable to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from age-related degradation during periods of inactivity.
