2015 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · CA64 ABV

The 2025-10-29 MOT at 93,555 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and suggesting a stable maintenance trend despite earlier failures. Since the 2023-08-21 failure, each subsequent test – 2023-08-24, 2024-08-19 and 2025-10-29 – has shown no recorded defects, indicating that any previous issues have been resolved or are no longer evident. The vehicle has accumulated roughly 8,500 miles per year since its 2015 manufacture, but the record reveals uneven usage: a jump of 19,876 miles between August 2024 and October 2025 shows a period of higher annual mileage, while earlier intervals such as 2021-01-21 to 2022-01-05 (5,084 miles in 1 year 5 months) and the negligible 4‑mile interval on 2023-08-24 illustrate both sustained use and brief pauses. The overall mileage trajectory is consistent with typical wear for an 11‑year‑old car, though the accelerated consumption between 2023 and 2025 may reflect increased daily driving. A buyer should examine tyre tread depth and edge wear, as repeated 5.2.3 (e) notes point to possible alignment or suspension bush wear; a physical check of rear lamp clusters, position and stop lamps, and the registration lamp is advisable given the recurring 4.x.x failures. Brake pad condition should be verified despite the 2022-01-05 wear indicator, and the door latch mechanism warrants inspection after the 2021-01-19 failure to open from outside. Any signs of chassis rust, especially around wheel arches and the structural sill, should be assessed, although the MOT history records no corrosion advisories. Overall the Suzuki Alto presents a passable condition with a stable test record, but the pattern of tyre wear and intermittent lamp faults suggests that routine component renewal and a detailed in‑person inspection are prudent before purchase.
