2008 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · PE58 HCY

The vehicle currently achieves a passing roadworthiness status following the test conducted on 26 January 2026 at 127,467 miles. The maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring mechanical advisories and failures, particularly concerning suspension components and brake system wear. While the most recent inspection passed, the history indicates a trend of deferred maintenance, evidenced by previous failures in 2025 and 2024 related to suspension wear and brake system condition. The recorded mileage of 127,467 miles on a 2008 model places the vehicle within the expected range for its age, averaging approximately 7,082 miles per year. The history shows a significant mileage accumulation between January 2024 and January 2025, with a failure recorded on 108,436 miles due to excessive wear on the rear suspension wishbone bushes and the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. This indicates a period where critical suspension components required attention. A buyer should inspect the suspension system thoroughly for signs of wear, specifically checking the rear coil spring for corrosion, as noted in the 2025 record. The history also highlights recurring issues with brake components, including worn and pitted front brake discs and thin front brake pads. Furthermore, the offside rear brake pipe has been noted as corroded and covered in material, suggesting potential fluid or system integrity concerns that require professional assessment. The presence of exposed tyre cords on the offside front tyre and a nail in the nearside rear tyre from the 2025 failure suggests basic tyre upkeep may have been inconsistent. While the current test passed, the documented history points towards a vehicle that has experienced mechanical stress and requires a detailed inspection of the suspension geometry and brake system components before purchase.
