2013 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · AP13 ADU

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, evidenced by a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 84,093 miles where no defects were recorded. This suggests that the mechanical and structural issues identified in previous years have been addressed by the owner. While the history shows intermittent wear-related faults, the lack of new advisories in the most recent test indicates a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening condition. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over its thirteen-year life. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, such as the 6,821-mile increase between February 2024 and February 2025, which matches the long-term average. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect which often lead to internal component failure, though the age of the car means rubber components naturally degrade regardless of the low distance covered. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The 2025 test at 78,382 miles flagged multiple issues including the offside front Macpherson strut pin, nearside front suspension arm pin, and a perished rear wishbone bush. While these were cleared in the subsequent test, an inspector should verify that these bushes were actually replaced and show no signs of premature play. Additionally, since the 2024 test noted thin front brake pads at 71,561 miles, the current remaining life of the pads should be checked to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service interval again.
