Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT history shows a stable trend following a failure during the March 2026 test. While the record indicates a failure on 5 March 2026, the vehicle achieved a pass on the same day after unspecified remedial work was completed. The preceding tests on 4 March 2025 and 6 March 2024 both resulted in passes with no defects or advisories recorded. The vehicle has covered 35,187 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, averaging approximately 2,932 miles per year. This represents low annual usage for a 2014 model. The MOT records show consistent annual testing, though the January 2024 test occurred only two months before the March 2024 test, suggesting a potential change in testing frequency or a retest requirement during that period. Because the March 2026 failure did not specify the exact mechanical cause in the provided data, a physical inspection is necessary to identify what required rectification. A buyer should specifically check the braking system, suspension components, and tyre condition to ensure the recent failure was not indicative of neglected consumables. Given the low mileage, the vehicle should also be inspected for signs of corrosion or seized components resulting from long periods of inactivity. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.

Our Verdict

This is a sensible choice for a buyer seeking a low-mileage city car. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests with no recorded defects over recent years.

Given the low mileage of 35,187 miles, your primary focus should be on ensuring the vehicle has had regular oil changes to prevent engine sludge, as low-mileage cars are often used for short city trips. Ask the seller for a service history to confirm that maintenance has been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule despite the low annual distance covered.

When negotiating, check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these components can age and degrade even if the mileage remains low. Because this is a 996cc petrol engine, it is designed for efficiency, so ensure the car drives smoothly without hesitation, which would indicate any underlying issues with the fuel system or spark plugs.

The Suzuki Alto is positioned as an economical small car. With a 996cc petrol engine, it should sit in a low insurance group and a relatively inexpensive tax band, making it ideal for new drivers or budget-conscious commuters.

Fuel economy for this model is typically high, especially in urban environments. You should expect modest maintenance costs, primarily consisting of routine items like oil, filters, and tyres. The estimated annual running cost is relatively low compared to larger hatchbacks.

While the MOT history shows no recorded defects in the most recent tests, you should inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion, which can affect small cars used in areas where salt is applied to roads in winter.

Check the clutch engagement and gear change smoothness, as small manual gearboxes can sometimes feel notched if not serviced. Additionally, inspect the black paintwork for any significant swirling or fading, and ensure all electrical components, such as indicators and interior lights, are functioning correctly.

This 2014 black Suzuki Alto has covered 35,187 miles, which is significantly lower than average for a vehicle of its age. The MOT history from 2024 to 2026 shows a series of passes, including a recent pass in March 2026. While there was a recorded failure on 05/03/2026, no specific defects were listed in the data, though it passed immediately upon retest.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is currently available for the Suzuki Alto to provide a statistical comparison.
