SUZUKI CARRY1999 · 1.3L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this Suzuki Carry is highly questionable as the available MOT history ends abruptly fourteen years ago. The last recorded test in June 2012 at 103,031 miles resulted in a significant failure across multiple safety-critical systems. Specifically, the tester identified excessive play in both front lower suspension ball joints, poor brake efficiency, and an unsupported exhaust system. Given that no records exist since 2012, the vehicle cannot be considered roadworthy without a comprehensive mechanical and structural survey. The vehicle shows an exceptionally low mileage for its twenty-seven-year age, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. While low mileage often suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests frequently lead to the degradation of rubber components and seized mechanical parts. There is a notable gap in the data between the 2011 tests at 93,443 miles and the 2012 failure at 103,031 miles, which suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods, which accelerates corrosion in brake lines and brake fluid breakdown. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the structural integrity, as the 2010 record already noted body corrosion. The history of recurring suspension issues, including track rod ends and ball joints, indicates a suspension geometry that is prone to wear or failure. The 2012 failure regarding brake efficiency and the lack of effort in the front brakes suggests the braking system was neglected or that cylinders have likely perished after years of inactivity. Without a modern MOT to verify the current state of the chassis and braking components, the risk of catastrophic mechanical failure remains high.
