2004 Suzuki Wagon-R+ 1.3L Petrol · FH54 HSV

The 2004 Suzuki Wagon-R+ most recently passed its MOT on 24 April 2023 at 89,350 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at that time. The maintenance trend appears stable, as both the 2022 and 2023 tests closed with passes and no advisories logged. However, the vehicle has now stood untaxed and untested for over three years relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, so its current condition is unverified by any recent official inspection. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 22-year-old car. The odometer read 87,660 miles on 2 February 2022 and rose only to 89,350 miles by 24 April 2023, a gain of 1,690 miles across fourteen months. That equates to roughly 4,061 miles per year overall. Long dormant periods are implied by the low annual figure, which raises the risk of perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion from standing rather than from high mechanical load. Both failed entries on 2 February 2022 and 24 April 2023 list no defects, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. The clean advisory history suggests previous owners addressed consumables before testing, though the absence of recorded wear items means suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions were either within limits or simply not flagged. A buyer should commission a physical inspection before any purchase. Given the standing time since April 2023, check subframe and sills for structural rust, test brake calipers for binding after idle, and verify tyre sidewalls for cracking. Confirm the coil springs and steering joints remain free of play, as low-mileage cars left outdoors often hide such degradation beneath a clean MOT record.
