2011 Suzuki Splash 1.0L Petrol · CV11 HNB

The 2011 Suzuki Splash demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent inspection. On 12 March 2026 at 72,118 miles, the tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. Prior to this, the car passed its 2025 test at 70,303 miles also without advisories. A single failed test appears in the record on 14 March 2024 at 67,197 miles, though notably no specific defects were recorded for that failure, suggesting a potential administrative anomaly or an issue rectified immediately before the retest passed on the same day. Overall, the mechanical condition appears consistently sound. The mileage accumulation aligns precisely with the vehicle's age, reflecting exceptionally light usage. Between the March 2023 test at 63,299 miles and the March 2026 test at 72,118 miles, the car covered just 8,819 miles over three years, averaging under 3,000 miles annually during this recent period. This follows a similarly low trajectory across its lifespan, totaling roughly 4,808 miles per year since new. Such minimal usage typically limits wear on drivetrain components and consumables, though prolonged stationary periods can cause its own issues, such as perished rubber seals or brake disc corrosion. Despite the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the MOT history, a physical inspection remains prudent given the vehicle's age. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can deteriorate through age and standing time rather than mileage. Tyre sidewall cracking and date codes warrant checking, as older rubber degrades regardless of tread depth. The exhaust system and brake components require scrutiny for surface corrosion, a common affliction on lightly used vehicles that spend extended periods stationary. Verifying the structural integrity of the underbody and sills will confirm whether the low mileage has genuinely preserved the car or if corrosion has taken hold unseen by the MOT tester.
