2013 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · GU13 TOH

The January 9 2026 MOT at 68,398 miles confirmed the 2013 Suzuki Alto remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a maintenance record that shows consistent pass rates, indicating a stable condition. At an average of 5,261 miles per year the vehicle’s mileage is low for its 13‑year age, suggesting periods of limited use. The interval from the November 2 2022 test (53,001 miles) to the January 23 2024 test (59,095 miles) added only 6,094 miles over 14 months, equating to roughly 5,200 miles per year. However, the subsequent 2025 test at 62,860 miles introduced 3,765 miles in just over a month, and the final 2026 test added 5,538 miles in five months, indicating a recent acceleration in usage. A buyer should therefore focus on the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers, which may have suffered from prolonged standing, and on the brake system, checking for binding calipers, worn discs and pad thickness, as the recent mileage surge could have increased wear. Visual inspection of the chassis for rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, and verification of exhaust integrity and emissions compliance are also advisable, given the absence of recorded defects but the potential for hidden corrosion. Overall, the vehicle’s clean MOT history and low overall mileage suggest reasonable care, yet the buyer must verify that the recent increase in annual mileage has not precipitated premature wear in critical components and should confirm that any advisory notes from previous tests have been addressed.
