2010 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · DU60 LCA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in the August 2025 test at 59,506 miles. This result indicates an improving trend in maintenance standards compared to the failures seen in 2024. While the history shows significant mechanical neglect previously, the lack of any advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the critical issues regarding the braking system and drivetrain were addressed by the previous owner. At approximately 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 59,506 miles is remarkably low, averaging roughly 3,700 miles per year. The data shows a spike in usage between August 2023 and August 2024, where the car covered 5,600 miles in just twelve months, followed by a more significant 11,872 miles over the following year. This intermittent usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals due to inactivity, which aligns with the recurring corrosion issues noted in the record. A physical inspection must focus on the front sub-frame and brake pipework. The June 2023 and August 2024 tests flagged persistent corrosion on the sub-frame and front brake pipes, which were previously masked in grease to hide the extent of the rust. You should verify that structural integrity has not progressed beyond the 'not seriously weakened' status. Additionally, the inner drive shaft CV boots which failed on both sides in 2024 must be checked for tears or grease leakage to ensure the replacements were effective and are not failing prematurely.
