2014 Suzuki Splash 1.0L Petrol · DP14 MVG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent test in June 2025. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the latest record indicates a shift toward developing defects that were previously absent. The 2025 test introduced specific advisories regarding a corroded offside front brake pipe and thinning front tyres, suggesting that components are beginning to require proactive attention despite the clean records seen in previous years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,540 miles per year. Between June 2024 at 17,702 miles and June 2025 at 18,479 miles, the car covered only 777 miles. This low usage frequency reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid corrosion due to the vehicle sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the offside front brake pipe mentioned in the 2025 record. The tester noted corrosion covered in grease or other material, which often indicates an attempt to mask rust or a history of minor fluid leaks. The recurring advisories for front tyres in both 2023 and 2025 show uneven wear patterns, which may point to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage, the chassis should be checked for surface corrosion, as low use does not prevent environmental oxidation over a decade.
