2011 Suzuki Splash 1.0L Petrol · SD11 EEF

The 2026‑01‑14 MOT at 135,276 miles recorded a failure with no defects listed, meaning the vehicle was not judged roadworthy despite the lack of recorded faults. The preceding tests show an alternating pattern of passes and failures at similar mileage intervals, indicating that the maintenance history has not produced a clear improvement. Mileage has risen from 117,250 miles in the January 2024 test to 126,279 miles in January 2025 (a gain of 9,029 miles) and then to 135,276 miles in January 2026 (another 9,000‑mile increase), averaging roughly 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 15‑year‑old vehicle. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, and look for structural rust on the chassis and exhaust system. Even though no defects were logged, the repeated failures suggest hidden corrosion or component fatigue that can only be confirmed by a physical inspection. The overall trend remains unstable, with no evidence of resolved issues, so a thorough on‑site assessment of the identified mechanical points is essential before committing to purchase.
