2013 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · FN63 EPE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a clean pass record over the last several years. The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2022 at 147,538 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met all regulatory standards at that time. Following a single failure in August 2019, the car has maintained three consecutive passes without any flagged mechanical issues, suggesting that the previous owners addressed necessary repairs promptly before subsequent inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,350 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage with roughly 15,000 miles covered between the 2020 and 2021 tests, and another 16,000 miles between 2021 and 2022. This regular interval is generally positive for mechanical components as long periods of standing can lead to seized seals and perished rubber. However, because the last test was performed over three years ago in October 2022, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified by the DVSA database. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas associated with a mileage of nearly 148,000 miles. Specifically, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of play or leakage. Given the age of the Suzuki Alto, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans is vital, as these are common points of failure over time. Since the MOT is now overdue, a fresh test of the brake system and exhaust emissions levels is required to ensure no significant degradation has occurred since the 2022 certification.
