2012 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · CY62 ABV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent test in September 2025 at 54,850 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend after a period of significant mechanical neglect in late 2023. While the car suffered a major failure in November 2023 due to multiple suspension and braking issues, the subsequent pass three weeks later and the clean result last year suggest that the critical safety faults were addressed by the owner. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 54,850 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. This low usage pattern often leads to age-related degradation rather than wear-based failure. The data shows a consistent interval of annual testing, though the gap of 5,515 miles between November 2023 and September 2025 indicates a slight increase in usage compared to earlier years. The long periods of potential stationary time can cause rubber components, seals, and brake surfaces to perish or seize despite the low odometer reading. The history reveals a recurring struggle with suspension and braking components. In the November 2023 failure, the tester flagged a fractured nearside coil spring, play in the track rod end, and an inoperative rear parking brake. Previous records from 2021 and 2022 also highlighted corrosion on the rear axle and brake hoses. While these issues appear to have been rectified, a buyer should still physically inspect the rear beam for structural corrosion and check the condition of the brake hoses for cracking, as the low mileage does not prevent environmental oxidation over fourteen years.
