Petrol against the other Suzuki Sx4 versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 76.2% | 33,871 |
| Diesel | 69.9% | 5,440 |
| All Suzuki Sx4 | 75.3% | 39,320 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
Petrol cars avoid the DPF and emissions failures that catch diesels, and usually fail on the same consumables as any other car.
On the Suzuki Sx4 specifically, petrol is the strongest at 76.2%, and this petrol version sits 0.9 points above the 75.3% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
There is little to choose between fuel types on this model, so decide on running costs and mileage rather than MOT record. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average petrol Suzuki Sx4 had covered 68,830 miles at test, against 87,110 for the diesel. That is a shade above the middle of the range, still ordinary wear rather than a red flag, but worth checking against the service book for the car's age.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Suzuki Sx4 page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
