2009 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · DX58 OXM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the recent MOT history. The most recent test on 11 November 2025 at 40,115 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the accumulation of recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last three years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,360 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between October 2022 and October 2023, where the car covered only 82 miles in a full year. However, usage increased recently with 6,903 miles covered between October 2023 and November 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the intermittent usage can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid-related issues to lack of regular operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Because the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, it is vital to check for perished brake hoses, seized caliper pistons, and corrosion on the brake discs. The failure recorded on 31 October 2023 at 33,214 miles, followed immediately by a pass on the same day, suggests a specific fault was identified and rectified quickly. Given the age of the Suzuki Splash, a thorough check of the chassis for structural rust on the sills and suspension mounting remains necessary, as low mileage does not prevent environmental oxidation over two decades.
