2007 Suzuki Wagon-R+ 1.2L Petrol · CP07 ABV

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable following a failed MOT test on April 2026 at 97,955 miles. While the vehicle maintained a clean record for several years, the most recent result indicates a mechanical or emissions failure that prevented a certificate being issued. The maintenance trend shifted from a stable period of clean passes between 2023 and 2024 to a period of instability, evidenced by the double entry in February 2025 and the subsequent failure just three months ago. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,156 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 72,632 miles and February 2025 at 88,714 miles, the car covered roughly 8,000 miles annually, suggesting low-usage patterns. However, low annual mileage often masks age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear, such as perished perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or fluid breakdown, which may explain why the vehicle began to manifest issues after the 2024 test. A buyer must investigate the specific reason for the April 2026 failure, as the record shows no recorded defects despite the failure, which often suggests a failure in exhaust emissions or a specific mechanical sensor fault. Given the age of the Suzuki and the low mileage, a physical inspection of the structural integrity is mandatory around the sills and wheel arches where corrosion typically accumulates. You should also check the condition of the suspension bushes and brake discs, as these components are prone to seizing during long periods of infrequent use.
