2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 56% pass first time (all 2006 cars: 56%) Stands out: sub-frame 2.4×, rust around suspension or steering mountings 2.5×, suspension arm 3.1× 4,392 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 57% pass first time (all 2006 cars: 56%) Stands out: engine oil leaks 1.9×, rust around suspension or steering mountings 2.7×, sub-frame 2.2× 1,209 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
