Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Suzuki Splash passed its most recent MOT on 20 September 2025 at 91,965 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The only anomaly is that on both 20 September 2025 and 25 September 2024 the vehicle first failed and then passed on the same day at identical mileages with no defects listed, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a genuine roadworthiness concern. Recorded mileage sits at 91,965 against an 18 year life, an average of roughly 5,109 miles per year. The odometer moved from 75,170 at the 12 April 2023 test to 82,362 by 25 September 2024, then to 91,965 by 20 September 2025. That is about 7,200 miles in the first interval and 9,600 in the second, showing light but gradually increasing use with no abrupt accumulation. The sparse record, with only three test dates across three years and clean outcomes throughout, gives little basis to infer neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the car's age and the limitation that MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component condition. Standing periods implied by low annual mileage can allow corrosion to develop on structural members and underbody fixings, so a ramp check of sills, subframes and exhaust hangers is warranted. The duplicated fail-pass entries on the same dates with zero defects suggest the seller or previous owners used a single garage that processed certificates loosely, but the underlying mechanical record shows no worsening pattern. Treat the vehicle as roadworthy per its last test, subject to a standard used-car pre-purchase examination.
