2013 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · YE13 AAN

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 29 September 2025 shows a transition from a clean pass in previous years to a failure involving wiper blades and a suspension advisory. While the vehicle passed the 2025 test, the record shows an emerging maintenance trend regarding the rear suspension. The tester flagged light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber, a condition that was noted as an advisory during the failure on the same date. The recorded mileage of 91,313 miles reflects an average annual usage of approximately 7,000 miles over the vehicle's 13-year lifespan. This represents a consistent and typical usage pattern for a small city car. The MOT history provided covers the period from September 2022 to September 2025, showing no significant gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage accumulation between these specific annual intervals. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspection on the rear suspension components. The light misting on the offside rear shock absorber suggests the seal is beginning to fail, which may lead to a complete leak and loss of damping effectiveness if left unaddressed. Although the windscreen wiper blades were noted as missing during the 2025 failure, these are simple consumables that should be verified as replaced. Beyond the flagged shock absorber, the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tests recorded no defects or advisories. This indicates that the current issues with the shock absorber and wipers are isolated occurrences rather than a long-term pattern of neglect. However, the presence of oil misting on a suspension component warrants a close check of the surrounding chassis for any signs of fluid contamination or secondary wear. buying_score: 68 risk_level: Low.
