2014 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · CV64 WYR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than preventative care care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 72,172 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just four days prior. While the owner addressed the critical failure of the offside front tyre and the horn, the recurring nature of tyre-related defects suggests that basic consumables are only replaced when they reach the point of legal failure or immediate de-lamination. At 72,172 miles, the Suzuki Alto has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low usage for a twelve-year-old city car. The mileage data shows steady progression, with roughly 5,500 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 7,300 miles covered between September 2024 and 2025. This low annual mileage generally limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain, though it likely explains the significant dry rot and perished rubber components noted in the records. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all tyres, as the record shows a persistent history of perishing, exposed cords, and uneven edge wear across multiple years. The tester frequently noted tyres worn on the edge, which often indicates underlying geometry issues, incorrect alignment, or worn suspension bushes that require attention. Additionally, the persistent windscreen damage and headlamp lens oxidation have remained as advisories for several years, indicating that cosmetic and minor glass components are frequently neglected by previous owners.
