2013 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · FP13 HFG

The 2013 Suzuki Splash demonstrates a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 18 September 2025 at 52,314 miles. The vehicle shows zero recorded defects across the entire five-year testing history, indicating a consistent pattern of diligent upkeep by the previous owner. This unblemished record suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and presents no immediate mechanical or structural red flags based on the DVSA data. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally low usage, averaging roughly 4,024 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. Between the October 2021 test at 47,530 miles and the September 2025 test at 52,314 miles, the vehicle covered just under 4,800 miles over four years. Notably, the annual mileage dropped significantly from 1,968 miles in the 2021-2022 period to a mere 208 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, before rising slightly to 913 miles in the following year. Such minimal use can lead to specific issues like perished rubber components or brake disc corrosion from standing, despite the low wear on the drivetrain. Despite the flawless MOT record, the low annual mileage warrants a focused physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from prolonged static periods. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as tread depth may remain legal while the rubber perishes. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for deterioration that might not yet trigger an MOT failure but indicates aging. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for surface corrosion and binding, a common ailment on vehicles that sit idle for extended durations. The exhaust system and underbody must be inspected for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from moisture accumulation rather than the protective heat cycling of regular driving. While the DVSA data paints a picture of a mechanically sound vehicle, the real-world condition of these aging consumables and structural elements will ultimately determine its ongoing roadworthiness.
