2014 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · KP64 AEC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 13 November 2025 at 52,101 miles, confirming it meets current standards after corrective work. The same day recorded a failure for excessive front suspension arm pin or bush wear on both nearside and offside and for offside front tyre wear close to the legal limit, indicating those items were remedied before the pass. Earlier advisories show a gradual deterioration of suspension components and structural deformation of the outer sill, but the latest outcome reflects a stable condition post‑repair. Over roughly 12 years the car accumulated 52,101 miles, averaging about 4,340 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests light usage or periods of storage. MOT tests have been performed annually, typically in September–November, with the most recent test only nine months ago, leaving the vehicle still within its 12‑month validity window. The mileage increase between the September 2025 test (if any) and November 2025 is minimal, confirming consistent low‑mileage operation. A prospective owner should inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes closely, as this fault recurred and was the cause of the recent failure. Tyre condition, especially the offside front, warrants checking for uneven wear and tread depth near the legal limit. The outer sill deformation noted in 2023–2024 should be examined for rust or structural compromise. Also verify brake pedal feel for fluctuations, inspect CV joint boots for splits, test wiper effectiveness, and confirm headlamp aim. Addressing these areas will reveal any residual issues not captured by the MOT pass.
