2013 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · YE13 AAX

The most recent MOT test on 26 January 2026 shows a vehicle with a worsening trend of recurring advisories. While the vehicle passed, the tester flagged several persistent issues including worn front brake discs and corrosion on both rear brake pipes. The suspension arm pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside front show continued wear, mirroring advisories from the 2025 test. The vehicle has covered 113,648 miles over its thirteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 8,742 miles per year. This represents a typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records provided cover a four-year period from January 2023 to January 2026, showing consistent annual testing without significant gaps in the documentation. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and chassis components. The records show a chronic issue with brake pipe corrosion, specifically on the nearside and offside rear pipes, which has been noted in every test since January 2023. The front brake discs and pads have also been flagged as worn or thinning in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests. Further attention is required regarding the front suspension. The repeated advisories for worn suspension arm pins and bushes across the 2025 and 2026 tests indicate that these components are nearing the end of their functional life. The recurring nature of these faults suggests that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, several mechanical repairs will likely be necessary to address the ongoing deterioration of the braking and suspension systems. buying_score: 45 risk_level: High.
