Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted on 30 July 2025 at 113,120 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and environmental standards. While the record shows immediate failures on the same day in two previous years, the subsequent passes suggest these minor issues were rectified promptly rather than representing a long-term mechanical decline. The recorded mileage of 113,120 miles over 14 years reflects an average of approximately 8,080 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady, incremental growth, moving from 98,057 miles in July 2023 to 104,699 miles in August 2024, and finally 113,120 miles in July 2025. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing components from seizing due to long periods. Given the lack of advisories in the recent history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas prone to wear that do not always trigger a failure. Inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber and the coil springs for fractures, as these are common points on Suzuki models of this mileage. Examine the brake discs for signs of uneven wear or thinness, and check the underbody for structural corrosion around the sills and rear mounting points to ensure the clean record does not mask any emerging rust issues.
