The SUZUKI GRAND VITARA (2005-15) 3DR SUV 2.4 VVT 169 SZ4 AUTO 4WD is a compact, three-door SUV offering a more upright alternative to a family hatchback. Automatic transmission and four-wheel drive suit drivers wanting traction and an easy-going drive, while its short body is easier to place than off-roaders. mycarcheck.com has recorded 273 checks across 117 different VINs, a useful sample of this relatively niche version. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £4,800, average recorded mileage of 54,000 miles and annual mileage of 3,000. The typical car has had about two previous keepers, at 2.35 on average. This Grand Vitara is best for couples, small households and outdoor-minded drivers who value a compact footprint and all-weather ability over rear-seat space or low running costs. Against soft-roading rivals, its four-wheel-drive character stands out; SZ4 trim and automatic convenience add appeal. Buy on condition and history, as with any used SUV.
