2009 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · FY09 CLN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 93,319 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories, suggesting the car has been kept in a satisfactory mechanical state. The mileage is low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 5,489 miles per year. There is a significant increase in usage over the last two years. Between 25 March 2024 and 24 March 2025, the odometer rose from 65,162 to 82,292 miles, an increase of 17,130 miles. A further 11,027 miles were added by the March 2026 test. This shift from light use to more regular driving may accelerate the wear of consumables. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across multiple years. While the record shows failures on 25 March 2024 and 21 March 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly. There are no recurring trends regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions to flag. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural corrosion. Small city cars of this age often suffer from rust on the sills and floor pans, which may not always be captured if the vehicle was cleaned prior to testing. Check for perished rubber seals and tyre perishing, as the low overall mileage suggests the car may have spent periods standing in the past.
