2010 Suzuki Splash 1.0L Petrol · CV60 XUP

The 2010 Suzuki Splash demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its recent MOT history, with no defects recorded in the last four consecutive annual tests, including the most recent 2025-08-12 assessment at 81,309 miles. The 2022-08-12 failure at the same mileage did not result in any recorded defects, suggesting the issue was resolved before the subsequent 2023 test. This pattern indicates consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical risks, though the vehicle’s low annual mileage of 5,082 miles raises questions about long-term component health. The vehicle’s mileage progression shows regular annual testing, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. From 75,666 miles in 2022 to 81,309 in 2025, the 5,643-mile increase over three years aligns with the average annual figure. However, the 2022-08-12 failure at 75,666 miles—coinciding with the same mileage as the 2024 and 2023 tests—suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or unresolved minor issues. The absence of defects in later tests implies corrective action was taken, but the low mileage may have masked wear on consumables like tyres or brake pads. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common wear points on this model. Corrosion risks, especially in the exhaust system and underbody, warrant attention due to the vehicle’s age and low usage. The brake discs and calipers should also be checked for uneven wear or binding, as infrequent driving can lead to seized components. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the low mileage and 16-year age necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s structural and mechanical integrity.
