Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This Suzuki SX4 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 14 January 2025 at 106,514 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates dating back to January 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a state of repair that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,193 miles per year. There is a steady increase in usage, with 90,833 miles recorded on 12 January 2023, rising to 99,380 miles by 15 January 2024, and reaching 106,514 miles by the start of 2025. This linear progression indicates regular use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and braking systems from seizing. The absence of advisories or failures across the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. However, the MOT record is a snapshot of legality rather than a comprehensive health check. A buyer should still manually inspect the underbody for corrosion, as structural rust often develops in these models without necessarily triggering an immediate MOT failure until it becomes severe. Priority should be given to checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components naturally degrade around the 100,000 mile mark. While the records show no faults, a physical check of the brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth is necessary to ensure consumables are not nearing the end of their service life. The lack of recorded defects suggests a well-maintained example, provided the service history supports these clean test results.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2013 Suzuki Sx4 (YS63 ABZ) between January 2023 and January 2025.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 14 January 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (9 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
