2008 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · SA08 MWK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 3 March 2022 at 68,688 miles with zero defects recorded. Historically, the maintenance trend appears stable, with clean passes between 2019 and 2021 showing no advisories for corrosion, suspension wear, or braking inefficiencies. However, the record ends over four years ago relative to the current date in June 2026. This significant gap means the vehicle currently holds no valid roadworthiness certification and its condition is effectively unknown. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year over the last decade. The odometer rose from 59,346 miles in February 2019 to 68,688 miles by March 2022, covering just over 9,000 miles in three years. While this light usage suggests reduced wear on drivetrain components, prolonged periods of inactivity often cause issues with rubber perishing or brake binding. A brief anomaly occurred on 24 February 2022 when the car failed a test with no defects listed, passing a week later, which likely indicates an administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. Given the four-year hiatus from testing, a prospective buyer must treat the vehicle as if it has no recent service history. Although the 2022 test showed no structural corrosion or suspension deterioration, the car has likely been standing. You should thoroughly inspect the brake discs and callipers for surface rust or seizing, check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking regardless of tread depth, and examine all rubber bushes and coolant hoses for perishing. The engine bay and undercarriage require a close look for fluid leaks or damp patches that may have developed during storage.
