2008 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · DG08 KLC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The March 2025 test at 119,419 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle is currently compliant with MOT standards. While the record shows two previous failures in March 2023 and March 2025, these appear to be administrative or minor technical discrepancies rather than indicative of a worsening mechanical trend, as the vehicle successfully passed immediately following each failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,634 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 94,144 miles in March 2023 to 106,364 miles in February 2024, and finally reaching 119,419 miles by March 2025. This incremental increase suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway running. The lack of significant mileage gaps indicates the vehicle has been in consistent use over the last three years. A physical inspection should focus on the areas typically subject to wear at this mileage level. Given the age and distance covered, a buyer should scrutinise the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of perished rubber or leaks. While the MOT record is clean, the age of the vehicle makes it prudent to check for underside corrosion on the exhaust system and structural mounting points. The buyer should also verify the service history to supplement the MOT data. Since the MOT record does not detail the specific reasons for the failures in 2023 and 2025, checking for evidence of recent brake disc replacement or tyre changes would confirm if the owner has addressed minor consumable wear. Overall, the record shows a well-maintained vehicle that has maintained compliance despite the inevitable wear associated with higher mileage.
