2018 Suzuki UK 110 NM L9 0.1L Petrol · AX68 TYV

The 2025 April 4 MOT passed with the vehicle at 3,463 miles, confirming continued roadworthiness despite a bent rear brake lever that remains operable under test conditions. The earlier 2022 December 23 test, recorded at 1,879 miles, showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record with no evident deterioration between tests. At eight years of age, the 3,463‑mile odometer reading translates to roughly 433 miles per year, a figure that suggests the car has been driven lightly or kept idle for extended periods. The interval between the two documented tests spans 2.3 years and covers 1,584 miles, averaging about 689 miles annually, yet the overall mileage remains low relative to the vehicle’s age, and the record is sparse but clean. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear brake lever for proper movement and any signs of stress on the mounting brackets, and verify that the rear brake system functions evenly without binding. The MOT history also flags potential issues with suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs, so a visual and tactile check of the rear suspension components, wheel bearings and brake disc condition is advisable. The tester noted no structural rust or exhaust emission failures, but a close examination of the chassis rails, wheel arches and exhaust system for corrosion or fatigue is recommended. Given the low annual mileage, consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades are unlikely to exhibit excessive wear, but the age of the vehicle means that suspension and braking components may have accumulated hidden fatigue. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection should include a road test to assess brake pedal feel, suspension resilience and any abnormal noises, as well as a detailed look at the rear brake lever alignment and the condition of the brake lines.
