2008 SUZUKI SPLASH1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 10 April 2025 at 153,372 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in early May 2024, the vehicle was re-tested just thirteen days later and passed, suggesting that the issue was minor and promptly addressed rather than representing a pattern of chronic mechanical neglect. At 153,372 miles, this eighteen-year-old Suzuki Splash averaged approximately 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, notably with roughly 10,000 miles covered between May 2022 and May 2023, and another 10,200 miles between May 2023 and May 2024. This consistency suggests the vehicle is not subjected to extreme stress or long periods of stationary storage, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the high-wear components associated with this mileage and age bracket. Given the clean MOT history, the priority should be checking for emerging structural corrosion across the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT test only flags significant rust once it reaches a critical depth. The high-mileage status also necessitates a check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components for signs of thinning or play. The lack of advisories in recent tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained regularly enough to pass testing without flagging minor wear items,.
