Got a specific Suzuki Sj 410q Santana you're checking out?
The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
The 1987 Suzuki SJ 410Q Santana shows a first-time MOT pass rate of 64.7%, notably below the UK average of 80%, which suggests these vehicles typically need attention before passing inspection. The dangerous defect rate is mercifully low at 0.4%, so while these cars may be ageing and need work, they're not presenting acute safety risks on the road.
These Suzukis are relatively low-mileage for their age, averaging 69,700 miles, which is encouraging given they're now 37 years old—many have been cherished or lightly used. The sparse failure and advisory data (0.03 failures and 0.1 advisories per vehicle on average) hints that when they do fail, it's usually minor wear items rather than systemic problems. If you're considering one, prioritise a pre-purchase inspection focusing on rust, seals, and fuel system integrity, as these older Japanese 4x4s are prone to corrosion if not properly maintained.
We have 1,344 1987 Suzuki Sj 410q Santana vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
