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

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The July 2025 test at 53,973 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a brief failure in July 2024 at 51,526 miles, though the subsequent pass on the same date suggests the issue was rectified immediately. The absence of recurring advisories regarding structural integrity or braking systems over the last four years indicates a consistent level of upkeep. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2007 model, averaging approximately 2,841 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 42,995 miles in September 2022 to 53,973 miles in July 2025. While low annual mileage often suggests lighter mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can also lead to issues related to long periods of inactivity, such as perished rubber components or seized calipers. The incremental increase in mileage between tests suggests the vehicle is used for short, regular trips rather than sitting idle for extended durations. A physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that MOT testing might not fully capture. Given the low usage, check for perished timing belts, perished coolant hoses, and dry-rotted suspension bushes. While the MOT history is clean, the low mileage means the vehicle may have spent time stationary, so inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the fuel system is free from moisture or degradation. The lack of historical failures for suspension components or emissions suggests the engine and chassis have remained in good condition. However, because the vehicle is nearly 20 years old, a thorough check of the underside for structural corrosion is essential. Focus on the sills and subframes to ensure no significant oxidation has developed, as the MOT record does not provide specific details on the severity of any minor surface rust that may be present.
