2010 Suzuki Splash 1.0L Petrol · CV10 BEU

The vehicle presents an improving maintenance trend following a significant period of mechanical decline. While the February 2025 test at 93,485 miles revealed a substantial list of failures involving braking efficiency, exhaust leaks, and suspension wear, the subsequent pass in August 2025 at 93,511 miles indicates that these critical issues were addressed. The most recent record shows no defects, suggesting the vehicle has undergone major remedial work to rectify previous safety concerns. The mileage pattern shows a consistent, low-intensity usage profile for a 2010 vehicle. Averaging roughly 5,800 miles per year, the car has covered 93,511 miles over its lifespan. The data shows steady progression with no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in mileage. For instance, the vehicle moved from 75,147 miles in March 2021 to 83,320 miles in May 2022, and reached 93,511 miles by August 2025. This low annual mileage often correlates with less drivetrain wear but can contribute to the corrosion issues noted in the history. A prospective buyer should focus inspections on the braking system and underside corrosion. The MOT history shows a persistent pattern of near-side brake pipe corrosion dating back to 2018 and continuing through 2021. Although the February 2025 failure highlighted a leaking offside rear hydraulic cylinder and poor brake efficiency, the recent pass suggests these were repaired. Still, the recurring nature of brake pipe degradation and binding calipers warrants a physical check of the lines and cylinders for any signs of weeping or surface rust. Suspension and drivetrain components also require scrutiny. The record identifies multiple failures regarding worn anti-roll bar linkages, suspension arm bushes, and split CV boots between 2022 and 2025. While the August 2025 pass implies these components were replaced or secured, the history of fractured coil springs and misting shock absorbers suggests the vehicle's suspension has been under stress. A thorough inspection of the CV boots, ball joints, and the exhaust system is necessary to ensure the recent repairs have fully resolved the previous structural and mechanical vulnerabilities.
