2014 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · MD14 TZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 34,223 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior. This indicates the owner addressed the mechanical faults immediately to secure the certificate. The trend is currently stable in terms of legal compliance, but the recurring nature of minor component failures suggests that items are only replaced when they threaten a positive MOT test result. At 34,223 miles over 12 years, the Suzuki Alto shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,852 miles per year. This low usage typically means less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it explains the specific defect issues noted in the record. Between July 2023 at 30,365 miles and July 2024 at 31,775 miles, the car covered only fourteen fourteen hundred miles. Such infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluids, which is evident in the vehicle's inspection history. A buyer must personally inspect the suspension components, specifically as the offside rear shock absorber was flagged for a serious fluid leak in 2025. Despite the low mileage, the tyres have shown signs of perishing and cracking across multiple tests in 2024 and 2025, indicating the rubber is aging out due to time rather than wear from driving. The buyer should also verify the integrity of the windscreen washer system and wiper blades, as these have failed at separate points in both 2023 and 2025. A check for surface corrosion on the undercarriage is also advisable, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods can suffer from oxidation.
