The CarHunch Score (0–100) ranks this vehicle against other 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitaras in our database.
A score of 10 means this vehicle performs better than approximately 10% of similar vehicles based on its MOT history.
The score combines three factors: MOT pass rate (how often it passes first time), defect severity (how serious the faults found are), and number of MOT tests recorded (more tests = higher confidence).
Some past MOT failures were safety-critical (e.g., brake pipe leaks, ABS faults, structural corrosion).
This historical summary highlights patterns for comparison; it is not a current inspection.
Always have a professional inspection before purchasing a used vehicle. We recommend ClickMechanic for pre-purchase inspections.
