2009 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · PK09 KCY

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 October 2025 at 57,964 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failure followed by rectification in the last two years. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test but passed upon re-test, suggesting the owner addresses specific defects promptly to secure a passing certificate. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 57,964 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 3,410 miles. This is significantly lower than the national average, indicating minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. Between the October 2023 test at 52,331 miles and the October 2024 test at 54,996 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,665 miles. This low-frequency usage often implies periods of standing, which can lead to specific degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion despite the lack of mileage. The lack of recorded advisories in the history is unusual for a vehicle of this age, as testers typically flag minor issues like perished bushes, tyre tread, or minor corrosion. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection for structural rust on the sills and floor pans, as low-mileage cars often suffer from environmental oxidation. Check the brake discs for pitting and the calipers for seizing, as infrequent use frequently causes the braking system to bind. Ensure the suspension components are free for cracks, as the age of the rubber is a greater risk than the low mileage driven.
