2013 Suzuki Splash 1.0L Petrol · BK63 GSZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, passing its most recent MOT test on 30 September 2025 with 47,640 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has successfully addressed minor electrical and consumable faults identified in previous tests. The failure in late 2025 was limited to a structural defect on the nearside front tyre, which was rectified immediately to achieve a clean pass. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old Suzuki Splash, averaging approximately 3,665 miles per year. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the vehicle covered only 3,451 miles, indicating very light usage or significant storage periods. While low mileage generally suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and brake hoses, which do not show wear from operation but from age. A buyer should inspect the physical condition of the rubber components, as the low mileage often masks dry rot or cracking in tyres and suspension elements. The 2024 failure regarding a non-functional nearside rear stop lamp and horn suggests that basic electrical oversight may occur, so a manual check of all exterior lighting and safety equipment is necessary. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the underbody is also vital, as low mileage does not prevent the oxidation of metal surfaces over time.
