Known faults for Suzuki Suzuki Wagon R+
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: SUZUKI WAGON R
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Rear Axle Beam and Suspension Mount Corrosion(Serious)
The tubular rear axle beam and trailing arm mounting brackets on the second-generation Wagon R+ are prone to severe structural corrosion in the wet and salty UK climate. Road salt and water thrown up from the rear tyres collect in the spring seat cups and welded seams of the rear beam. Over time, internal rust flakes and structural thinning weaken the axle mounting structure, resulting in cracked weld seams, dangerous suspension misalignment, and automatic MOT test failure.
- EGR Valve Carbon Clogging (1.3 G13BB / M13A)(Moderate)
On the 1.3-litre petrol engines, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve frequently becomes choked with carbon soot, especially on vehicles predominantly used for short urban shopping journeys. When carbon deposits prevent the valve pintle from sealing properly, exhaust gas leaks into the intake manifold at idle and low engine speeds. This causes hunting idle revs, stumbling under gentle acceleration, engine stalling at traffic junctions, and elevated emissions.
- Manual Gearbox Fifth Gear Pop-Out and Synchro Wear(Moderate)
The five-speed manual transmission fitted to the Wagon R+ can develop wear on the fifth gear synchroniser ring and selector hub engagement teeth. Because fifth gear sits at the outer end of the gearbox casing where lubrication can become marginal during prolonged low-fluid running, the engagement dogs round off over high mileage. Under acceleration or when releasing the throttle in fifth gear, the gear lever will abruptly kick or pop out into neutral.
