2013 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · FL13 TXY

The 2013 Suzuki Splash presents a highly stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 18 March 2026 at 36,019 miles. The record shows zero defects across the last four annual tests, indicating consistent mechanical upkeep and no recurring faults. A pass and a fail were both logged on 14 March 2025 at 35,318 miles, though neither entry lists any defects, suggesting an administrative anomaly or an aborted initial test rather than a mechanical failure. Overall, the vehicle's roadworthiness status is excellent, with no advisories or failures pointing to structural or mechanical degradation. The recorded mileage of 36,019 miles over thirteen years equates to an average annual usage of roughly 2,771 miles, which is exceptionally low. The annual increments confirm this steady, light use: the car covered 1,173 miles between February 2023 and March 2024, and 701 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. Such minimal accumulation implies short, localized journeys or prolonged periods of standing. While low mileage reduces wear on consumables like brake discs and tyres, extended idling can cause its own issues, such as battery drain, tyre flat-spoting, and dormant corrosion in the exhaust system. Given the absence of flagged defects in the MOT history, a buyer should focus on the specific risks associated with a low-mileage vehicle that may stand idle. Inspect the tyres closely for sidewall cracking and date codes, as tread depth may remain legal while the rubber perishes from age. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion that can develop during short trips where the pads do not generate enough heat to clear the rust. Examine the exhaust system for condensation-related internal rust, which thrives when the system never reaches full operating temperature. Finally, assess the suspension bushes and coil springs; while not flagged, lack of regular loading can sometimes cause rubber components to degrade unevenly.
