Is the 2019 SX4 getting worse?

Pass rate of 2019-registered cars across recent test years:

Test year	Pass rate
2023	94.5% +4.7 vs same-age
2024	92.5% +4.2 vs same-age
2025	91.3% +4.3 vs same-age

The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs

Is a 2019 Suzuki SX4 reliable?

2019-registered examples passed 92.8% of their MOT tests (5,970 tests, 2023–2025), +4.4 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 7 years old with a median 28,681 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2019 SX4?

The median tested example shows 28,681 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
