1989 SUZUKI 0.7L PETROL

The vehicle’s MOT history shows a mix of passed and failed inspections, with the most recent entry dated 2011-07-22 (15 years ago). At that time, it passed with no defects recorded, but a prior failure on the same day cited non-working nearside front direction indicators. This suggests intermittent electrical issues, though no further details were noted. The 2009 MOT revealed multiple concerns, including a spongy rear hydraulic brake system, steering control fouling, and inadequate suspension damping. These were accompanied by a rear suspension bush with slight free play and a missing clip on the reservoir pipe. Earlier in 2009, the vehicle had a passed MOT with no defects, but the 2010 entry also showed no issues. The recurring risks involve braking and suspension systems, with critical failures in 2009 highlighting potential safety hazards. While later inspections showed improvements (e.g., the 2011 pass), the lack of MOT data for 15 years means the current condition is unknown. The vehicle’s low mileage (8,160 miles over 37 years, ~221 miles/year) suggests minimal use or long periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation (e.g., rubber seals, fluids, or electrical connections). However, this mileage figure does not confirm whether the car was stored or driven regularly, so the wear pattern remains ambiguous.
