- Period mentioned
- 2008–2014
- Symptoms
- Heavily worn rear brakes as early as 30,000–40,000 km, which fail the roadworthiness test; the inspection also flags the suspension and brake pipes; the battery is the most common breakdown cause.
- Possible cause described
- The Suzuki engines (K10B and K12B, with a chain) are very reliable; the problem is dirt in the rear brakes of a car that brakes little. The guide recommends cleaning them at every service and braking hard now and then.

- Check the rear drums or discs, brake pipes and battery.
