2010 Suzuki 0.8L Petrol · LR60 OBZ

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following its June 2025 test at 31,151 miles, which falls roughly twelve months prior to today. The record shows a slight downward shift in component condition over the last two years. The tester flagged a front brake fluid level below the minimum mark during that inspection, marking the first advisory since the June 2022 test recorded worn and pitted front brake discs. Prior to these notes, the MOT history remains clean through June 2023 and June 2024, indicating a generally stable maintenance trajectory that recently required attention to the hydraulic braking system. The progression from surface disc scoring to depleted fluid suggests the caliper pistons have extended over time, a predictable wear pattern rather than an acute failure risk. At roughly nineteen hundred miles per annum, the odometer reading aligns with light domestic use or extended periods of storage. The annual increments hold steady between seventeen thousand eight hundred fifty-four miles in July 2021 and thirty-one thousand one hundred fifty-one miles in June 2025, showing consistent year-on-year accumulation without sudden jumps or prolonged gaps. This steady usage pattern typically preserves engine internals and drivetrain components, yet low annual kilometres often allow rubber seals and brake assemblies to degrade from moisture exposure rather than friction. The absence of structural corrosion advisories across all five tests supports the premise that the chassis has remained dry and well protected. A pre-purchase inspection must prioritise the front brake circuit. Verify whether the master cylinder reservoir sits at the correct fill line and check for any dampness around the banjo bolts or flexible hoses that could indicate seepage. Examine the front disc surfaces for deep scoring or rust pitting, as the previous tester noted material loss that will accelerate once fluid levels drop further. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil spring mounts for cracking, since low mileage vehicles frequently retain original rubber components that harden with age regardless of distance covered. Confirm the exhaust emissions meet current limits and ensure the handbrake cable moves freely without excessive slack, as stationary periods commonly cause internal cabling to bind.
