2011 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · CV61 VSA

The Suzuki Splash presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 40,087 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior four years the vehicle passed every test cleanly, with the September 2024 examination at 33,721 miles, September 2023 at 29,585 miles, and September 2022 at 26,803 miles all recording no advisories or defects. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 2011 registered vehicle. Over the three years from September 2022 to September 2025 the odometer advanced only 13,284 miles, averaging roughly 2,672 miles per year. The largest single annual gain was 6,366 miles between 2024 and 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the record, and the clean sweep of results across all five entries suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a basic standard with no deferred consumable replacements or ignored corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished history. Low annual mileage combined with a 15 year age raises the risk of perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, door seals, and brake hose degradation that an MOT without advisories will not always capture. Standing periods between short journeys can encourage surface corrosion on structural members and brake discs, and flat spots may develop on tyres through prolonged storage. Verify the September 2025 failure reason at the testing station, since a no-defect fail often points to a documentation or identification mismatch rather than wear. Inspect underneath for structural rust, check brake caliper freedom after the car has stood, and confirm tyre sidewall condition given the low mileage. The record shows no recurring mechanical faults, but the age and usage profile warrant hands-on confirmation of suspension and braking integrity before purchase.
