2011 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · BJ61 AEX

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 3 October 2024 at 66,177 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 4,412 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between September 2022 and October 2023, where the odometer rose from 46,540 to 58,051 miles. Since then, the vehicle has covered 8,126 miles over the following year. This low overall usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and interior, though it can sometimes mask issues related to vehicle stagnation. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding defects. The only failure occurred on 28 September 2023 at 58,037 miles, but the record shows no specific defects listed for that failure, and the car passed a retest just one week later. This suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue rather than a systemic mechanical fault. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Given the age of the vehicle and the lack of recorded advisories, check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and the depth of the tyre treads. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly mention structural integrity. Verify the brake pedal feel to ensure the calipers have not seized during periods of low usage.
