SUZUKI 1997 · 0.6L PETROL

The Suzuki presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 27 April 2022 at 12,790 miles with no defects recorded. Across the available history the vehicle cleared every test that proceeded to a full examination, showing no worsening mechanical condition. The only blemish is a failure on 3 July 2019 at 12,641 miles, which the record lists with no defects, implying an administrative or presentation issue rather than a fault found by the tester. Recorded mileage sits at 12,790 against a 1997 build, roughly 441 miles per year. The odometer moved just 301 miles between the 19 May 2018 test at 12,489 and the July 2019 tests, then only 119 miles to the 2022 pass. Such low accumulation over 29 years points to light use or prolonged storage. A four-year gap separates the last test from today's date of 16 July 2026, leaving the current condition unverified by DVSA since 2022. The clean advisory columns mean no worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake components were flagged in the supplied entries. The unexplained 2019 failure warrants confirmation that no hidden defect prompted it. A buyer should still inspect for perished rubber, standing-water corrosion, and seized calipers that low-mileage lay-ups typically conceal. Given the age and dormancy risk, examine underneath for structural rust on chassis members and check tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than wear. Verify the brake discs are free of pitting and the exhaust emits within limits after a cold start.
