2005 Suzuki Wagon-R+ 1.2L Petrol · RF05 AJV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-02-06 MOT at 74,318 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2026 show consistent passing results, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No structural, braking, or emissions issues were flagged in the last four years, suggesting the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. The absence of advisories or failures implies the car has been driven within acceptable parameters for its age. The mileage of 74,318 miles over 21 years equates to approximately 3,539 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Notable gaps between MOTs, such as the 10-month interval between 2022-06 and 2023-02, could indicate irregular servicing, though no defects arose from these periods. The steady progression of mileage from 66,690 in 2022 to 74,318 in 2026 suggests gradual usage rather than sudden wear, but the low annual average raises questions about potential dry-rot or corrosion in components like rubber seals and suspension bushes. A physical inspection should focus on signs of long-term inactivity, such as brittle hoses, seized suspension joints, or corrosion in the exhaust system. While no brake-related issues were recorded, the low mileage may have led to brake disc warping or caliper binding if the vehicle was parked for extended periods. The underbody should be checked for rust, particularly around the chassis and wheel arches, as older models like the Wagon-R+ are prone to corrosion in damp conditions. Additionally, verify the condition of the battery and electrical systems, which can degrade without regular use.
