2013 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · CX13 LCK

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical components and rubber degradation. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 34,528 miles passed, it introduced several new advisories that were absent in previous years. The appearance of a worn offside front MacPherson strut pin or bush, pitted front brake discs, and corroded brake pipes indicates that time-sensitive components are beginning to succumb to age-related fatigue despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,656 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered only 9,253 miles, suggesting a pattern of very infrequent use. This low usage explains why the vehicle's structural integrity remains intact but directly correlates with the failure of rubber-based parts. The data shows the car likely sits for long periods, which leads to environmental weathering rather than mechanical wear from road miles. A buyer must inspect the rear tyres specifically, as the record shows a recurring fault of cracking and perishing on every test since 2022. These tyres are likely dry-rott due to age and should be replaced regardless of remaining tread depth. The 2025 advisory regarding corroded brake pipes and pitted discs also requires a close physical inspection to ensure corrosion has not progressed beyond the surface level, and the worn MacPherson strut bush should be checked for any lateral play that could affect steering precision or handling.
