Suzuki Uk (2016)
2016 Suzuki Uk
CarHunch analysed 220 real MOT records for the 2016 Suzuki Uk. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2016 Suzuki UK passes its MOT first time 86.8% of the time, comfortably ahead of the 80% UK average—a genuinely positive sign. However, 26.8% of these vehicles have recorded at least one dangerous defect during their MOT history, which is notably high and should concern any buyer; this suggests electrical, brake, or structural issues are lurking in a meaningful portion of the fleet.
At an average mileage of 12,514 miles per vehicle, these are relatively low-mileage examples, which partly explains the strong pass rate. The modest 0.78 failures per vehicle and 2.6 advisories suggest maintenance-responsive owners or inherent design robustness, but before buying, dig into the specific dangerous defects logged on your chosen car's MOT record—this cohort's weak spot is serious faults, not minor wear.
What to check before buying a 2016 Suzuki Uk
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.
- ⚠️ 26.8% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
