Suzuki Vitara Sz T Boosterjet MHEV (2023)
2023 Suzuki Vitara Sz T Boosterjet MHEV
CarHunch is tracking 2,397 2023 Suzuki Vitara Sz T Boosterjet MHEV vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 Suzuki Vitara is a brand-new model with a catastrophically low 6.8% first-time MOT pass rate—a tenth of the UK average of 80%—which is a serious red flag for potential buyers. The dangerous defect rate sits at just 0.1%, so safety isn't the primary issue; instead, the failures appear to be technical niggles that suggest teething problems with this new hybrid powertrain or quality control issues at manufacture.
With a median mileage of only 18,827 miles for vehicles tested, these are virtually new cars still under warranty, yet they're arriving at MOT stations with significant faults. The zero average failures and advisories recorded likely reflects inconsistent testing or that many vehicles haven't yet reached their first full MOT cycle, but the stark pass rate gap tells you this particular specification has real durability concerns—get a trusted mechanic's pre-purchase inspection and consider waiting for the model to mature or looking at alternative hybrid SUVs with proven track records.
We have 2,397 2023 Suzuki Vitara Sz T Boosterjet MHEV vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Suzuki Vitara Sz T Boosterjet MHEV
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.
