2007 Suzuki Wagon-R+ 1.2L Petrol · AV57 AED

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-29 at 43,980 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, a prior failure on 2024-02-27 at 42,231 miles—without recorded defects—suggests potential unresolved issues. Subsequent tests in 2024-02-28 (42,245 miles) and 2023-02-25 (40,784 miles) passed, but the lack of defect details limits insight into underlying problems. The pattern shows no worsening trends, though the failure raises questions about maintenance consistency. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,980 miles over 19 years equates to approximately 2,315 miles annually, reflecting light usage. This low accumulation aligns with sporadic MOT testing, particularly between 2022-01-26 (38,920 miles) and 2023-02-25 (40,784 miles), where mileage increased by 1,864 miles over 13 months. The 2024-02-27 failure occurred just 14 miles after the previous test, implying either rapid retesting or minimal driving. Such patterns may indicate periods of inactivity, increasing risks of component degradation, including corrosion or seized mechanisms. A buyer should inspect the underbody for rust, particularly around the chassis and exhaust, given the age and low mileage. Check suspension components for wear, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate bush and spring deterioration. Test brakes for binding or uneven wear, as low mileage may mask normal friction losses. Verify the battery’s condition, as infrequent use can lead to discharge. While MOT records show no critical defects, the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny of maintenance logs to confirm resolution of any unrecorded issues.
