123 real MOT outcomes analysed

1986 Suzuki Sj 410 Qb

CarHunch is tracking 123 1986 Suzuki Sj 410 Qb vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

The 1986 Suzuki SJ 410 QB presents a stark reliability picture: zero vehicles in this cohort of 123 achieved a first-time MOT pass, compared to the UK average of 80%, making this a genuinely concerning result for any prospective buyer. No dangerous defects were recorded, but the complete failure to pass any test suggests these vehicles are either heavily worn, poorly maintained, or no longer roadworthy by modern standards.

At nearly four decades old, these SJ 410s show no recorded mileage data and averaged zero failures per vehicle—a statistical anomaly likely indicating these are either non-runners or have been off the road for years. If you're considering one, treat it as a full restoration project rather than a usable classic: budget for comprehensive mechanical work and expect to invest significantly before it will pass MOT.

What to check before buying a 1986 Suzuki Sj 410 Qb

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
