2018 Suzuki RV 0.1L Petrol · AV18 UFP

The most recent MOT test on 17 June 2025 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 30,025 miles. The consistent pass history over the past three tests—with no advisories or failures—indicates a stable maintenance trend, though the single failure in June 2023 (also at 21,859 miles) was unusual and unexplained, as no defects were logged. The vehicle has now passed three consecutive tests without incident, suggesting either a one-off administrative oversight or a minor issue resolved before retesting. The lack of recurring advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers is particularly reassuring, as these are common failure points for this model age. The recorded mileage of 30,025 miles over eight years—approximately 3,753 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either infrequent use or prolonged periods of storage. The gap between tests is consistent at one year, with no rapid mileage accumulation between 2022 and 2025. The only notable irregularity is the duplicate test date in June 2023, where the vehicle failed once before passing on the same day, which may indicate a scheduling error rather than mechanical neglect. This pattern implies the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy or consistent use, which could mean reduced wear on high-mileage components like brakes, suspension, or drivetrain. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles even if the car has been stationary. Check for signs of corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as prolonged standing can accelerate rust development. The brakes should be inspected for uneven wear or binding calipers, despite the lack of MOT failures, as moisture and lack of use can cause brake fluid degradation or rust in caliper slides. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been stored in damp conditions. The absence of advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
