2010 Suzuki Alto SZ-L 1.0L Other · DFZ 8669

The 2010 Suzuki Alto SZ-L presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 11 July 2025 at 54,791 miles returning a clean pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests in April 2024 at 47,398 miles, April 2023 at 42,105 miles, and February 2022 at 34,727 miles also passed without advisories. The only blemish is a failure on 7 February 2022 at 34,687 miles, yet the record shows no defects listed against that failure, and the car passed just two weeks later on 21 February 2022 at 34,727 miles, indicating the issue was resolved promptly or was an administrative anomaly. At roughly 3,424 miles per year across its sixteen-year life, the Alto shows low usage for its age, with the odometer reading 54,791 miles today. The mileage climbed from 34,687 in February 2022 to 42,105 by April 2023, then 47,398 in April 2024 and 54,791 by July 2025, reflecting steady but light annual accumulation of around 5,000 to 7,500 miles in recent years. No long dormant gaps appear in the test history, and the clean sheet across four successive passes suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current without deferred entries. Given the absence of recorded advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT data implies no ongoing mechanical trend requiring alarm. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake disc thickness and caliper operation, check subframe and sills for hidden rust given the vehicle's age, and verify tyre sidewall condition after prolonged low-mileage standing. The February 2022 failure with no defects logged warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason through the full certificate, as the summary omits the cause.
