2012 Suzuki Splash 1.0L Petrol · AO12 AAU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on June 6, 2025 at 61,159 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the previous day. This pattern suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying minor issues immediately to ensure a valid certificate. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three years indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained in good condition relative to their age. The mileage is remarkably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,368 miles per year. Between the March 2023 test at 58,912 miles and the June 6, 2024 test at 60,972 miles, the car covered only 2,060 miles. This low-frequency usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and brake components. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or seized components, which the MOT record does not fully account for. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage use. While the record shows no structural rust or suspension failures, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check for perished suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or binding, as infrequent use often leads to uneven pad wear. Given the recent minor failures in 2024 and 2025, verify that the specific items addressed during those tests have been properly maintained.
