1993 Suzuki Super Carry 1.0L Petrol · K553 RAF

The current roadworthiness of this vehicle is declining following a significant failure in the most recent inspection. While the vehicle maintained a clean record between 2022 and 2024, the March 2026 test at 70,883 miles revealed a shift toward mechanical neglect. The transition from a clean pass to a failure involving lighting defects, electrical issues, brake corrosion, and suspension wear suggests a recent lack of basic pre-inspection checks or deferred maintenance by the current owner. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 33-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,148 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 126 miles covered between 2023 and 2024. However, the 1,359-mile gap between April 2025 and March 2026 indicates the vehicle may sit stationary for long periods. This pattern of low-mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion in fluid lines, which aligns with the faults identified in the latest MOT record. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and chassis. The tester flagged a corroded rear brake pipe covered in grease in both 2025 and 2026, indicating a persistent issue that was ignored rather than rectified, which could lead to hydraulic failure. The worn offside front suspension arm bush noted in 2026 suggests rubber components are beginning to perish due to age and oxidation rather than distance. Additionally, the failed horn and headlamp aim require immediate attention to ensure the vehicle meets legal visibility and safety standards.
