2009 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · KR09 FCL

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate following a failure on 22 May 2025 at 41,064 miles. While the record shows a stable history of clean passes between 2021 and 2024, the most recent failure without listed defects suggests an administrative issue or a failure to present the vehicle for testing. The roadworthiness status is currently unverified. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 2,416 miles per year. Between 26 May 2021 at 38,642 miles and 22 May 2025 at 41,064 miles, the car covered only 2,422 miles over four years. This pattern indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which often leads to different mechanical risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer must prioritise an inspection for degradation caused by inactivity. Low-use vehicles frequently suffer from seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded suspension bushes. The lack of recorded defects in previous tests is positive, but the low annual mileage increases the likelihood of fluid contamination or battery failure. Check the underbody for corrosion, as standing vehicles can develop structural rust in damp environments. Verify the condition of the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the engine oil shows no signs of sludge. Given the recent failed test status, the vehicle should not be driven until a fresh certificate is obtained.
