2004 Suzuki Carry 1.3L Petrol · FL54 GZP

The Suzuki Carry presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 16 September 2024 at 98,676 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recent test history. The prior failure on 28 August 2024 at 98,347 miles recorded no defects, indicating the refusal likely stemmed from administrative or non-mechanical grounds rather than a fault the tester documented. No advisories or defects appear across any of the four supplied tests, so the official record shows no worsening pattern of wear. The recorded mileage of 98,676 against a 2004 build gives a low average of roughly 4,485 miles per year. Between the 1 April 2022 test at 91,187 miles and the 1 August 2023 test at 91,859 miles the vehicle covered only 672 miles in sixteen months, implying a prolonged period of little use. From August 2023 to September 2024 it added 6,817 miles, a return to light regular running rather than rapid accumulation. Because the MOT history is clean, the record implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current but gives no insight into consumable condition. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation, as a 22-year-old light commercial with intermittent use is prone to perished rubber and surface corrosion. Given the low annual mileage and the unexplained August 2024 failure with zero listed defects, a physical check of the chassis for structural rust and the braking system for binding calipers is warranted before purchase. The absence of advisories should not be read as a guarantee of component health at this vehicle age.
