2011 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · AF11 XMB

The Suzuki Alto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 121,528 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual tests in June 2024 and June 2023 also passed cleanly. The upkeep pattern shows consistency rather than deterioration, with no advisories or mechanical faults carried across successive examinations. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2011 vehicle, averaging roughly 8,100 miles per year. The record shows 95,940 miles at the June 2022 test, rising to 102,691 by June 2023, 109,428 by June 2024, and 121,528 by June 2025. That equates to around 7,000 to 12,000 miles annually, with no standing periods or abrupt jumps. The sole anomaly is the failed test on 12 June 2024 at 109,379 miles, which the DVSA entry lists with no defects recorded; the vehicle passed thirteen days later at 109,428 miles, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT history across five years, no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion issues appear in the official data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions, as MOT passes do not certify component life remaining. The absence of advisories implies previous owners addressed wear before each test, but at 121,528 miles consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and coil springs warrant hands-on verification. The vehicle's record reflects disciplined annual testing and no deferred maintenance flags. At fifteen years old the Alto remains a low-risk used purchase on paper, provided an independent mechanical check confirms underside condition and drivetrain health beyond the scope of the MOT.
