2003 Suzuki Alto 1.1L Petrol · GP53 FTJ

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on the most recent MOT pass on 15 August 2024. The record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories across several years. While the car failed its tests on 12 August 2022 and 13 August 2024, these failures were resolved immediately on the same or following day, suggesting the owner addressed minor issues promptly to maintain compliance. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 23 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,921 miles per year. Between 28 July 2023 and 15 August 2024, the odometer rose from 59,566 to 67,175 miles. This indicates a recent increase in usage, with over 7,600 miles covered in a single year, which is significantly higher than the long term average. A lack of recorded advisories over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a well-maintained example or very light duty use. However, low mileage often masks issues related to long periods of standing. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewall cracking, which degrade regardless of mileage. The absence of mentioned corrosion in the DVSA records is positive, but structural rust remains the primary risk for a 2003 Suzuki Alto. An in person inspection should focus on the sills, wheel arches, and chassis rails. Checking for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers is also advisable given the low annual mileage history.
