2004 Suzuki Alto 1.1L Petrol · LR04 AEU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 28 November 2025 at 52,985 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its annual inspections without recorded defects or advisories. The history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025, which suggests that minor issues are addressed promptly prior to testing rather than indicating a systemic mechanical degradation. At 22 years old, the Suzuki Alto exhibits exceptionally low mileage with 52,985 miles recorded, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with 2,377 miles covered between the November 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 2,779 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This pattern reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-useage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and corrosion due to limited airflow. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to hidden rust that does not show through mechanical wear. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines for cracking or perish, as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance driven. While the MOT record is clean, the age of the 2004-model necessitates a thorough check for fluid leaks and seized caliper pistons to ensure the vehicle remains reliable for daily use.
