Suzuki Vitara Sz5 Boosterjet MHEV (2023)
2023 Suzuki Vitara Sz5 Boosterjet MHEV
CarHunch is tracking 1,106 2023 Suzuki Vitara Sz5 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 showing a first-time MOT pass rate of just 5.9%, drastically below the UK average of 80%—a genuinely alarming result that suggests either systematic testing issues or widespread defects in this cohort. The good news is that no dangerous defects have been recorded and average failures and advisories sit at zero, which points to the low pass rate being driven by minor, fixable issues rather than safety concerns.
These vehicles are averaging 21,146 miles at test, which is reasonable for their age, yet the combination of near-zero failures alongside the catastrophic pass rate is contradictory and warrants investigation of the specific defect types. Before committing to this model, request the detailed MOT failure records from your dealer or the DVSA database to understand exactly what's causing the rejections—don't rely on the headline pass rate alone.
We have 1,106 2023 Suzuki Vitara Sz5 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 Sz5 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.
