2004 Suzuki Wagon-R+ 1.3L Petrol · GU04 WTJ

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on February 2026 at 27,073 miles. Following a single failure in early 2024, the subsequent inspections have returned no defects or advisories. This lack of recurring mechanical failures or structural de-lamination over the last three years suggests that the current owner is responsive to maintenance requirements and addresses necessary repairs promptly. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,230 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2025, the car covered only 947 miles, indicating periods of very infrequent use or long-term storage. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such patterns often introduce risks related to the degradation of rubber-based parts, brake seals, and fluid chemistry due to a lack of regular operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as low-mileage cars from this era are prone to hidden corrosion if left stationary in damp environments. The tester should also check the brake system for seized calipers or perished hoses, which are common when vehicles are driven sparingly. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for dry rot cracking, as the age of these components far exceeds their functional life regardless of the low mileage.
