Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a small
When inspecting this Suzuki Carry, focus on the chassis and underbody. While this specific vehicle has no recorded corrosion failures, the aggregate data for this model shows corrosion as a top reason for MOT failure. Check for any signs of rust around the suspension mounting points and sills.
Given the age of the vehicle, verify that the 1298cc petrol engine has been serviced regularly, as MOT records do not confirm maintenance history. Ask the seller for any evidence of recent work on the suspension or headlamps, as these are common failure points for this model across the wider fleet.
The Suzuki Carry is designed for economy, with its 1.3L petrol engine providing relatively low fuel consumption for a commercial vehicle. Tax and insurance groups for this model are typically low, making it an affordable option for small businesses or hobbyists.
Maintenance costs should be manageable, though you should budget for wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes. Based on its current usage profile, estimated annual running costs are relatively modest compared to larger vans.
Prioritise an inspection of the lighting system, specifically the headlamps, as this is a frequent failure point for the Suzuki Carry model. Check that the rear registration plate is clear and compliant, as this has been a recurring minor issue in the previous MOT tests for this specific vehicle.
Additionally, examine the suspension arms and joints. Since the aggregate data identifies suspension arms as a top failure reason for this model, ensure there is no excessive play or noise when driving over uneven surfaces.
This 2004 blue Suzuki Carry has covered 71,620 miles over its 22-year lifespan, which is significantly higher than the model average of 3,775 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent passing record, with the most recent test in September 2023 recording no defects. While there were minor advisories regarding the rear registration plate in 2021 and 2022, the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures in its recorded tests.
Aggregate data shows a 72.4% average MOT pass rate for this model, with corrosion, headlamps, and suspension arms being the primary causes of failure.
