2012 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · SE12 HWS

The Suzuki Alto presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 3 March 2025 at 86,416 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with every pass carrying a clean sheet and no advisories logged for worn consumables or mechanical faults. A buyer should treat the current pass as a sound baseline, though the sparse five-entry record limits long-term trend analysis. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a 2012 car, averaging roughly 6,173 miles per year against the 86,416 miles recorded. The tests show 62,904 miles on 24 January 2022, 68,073 on 13 February 2023, then 78,135 at a failed attempt on 8 March 2024 before a pass the same day at an anomalous 530,583 miles, dropping back to 86,416 by March 2025. That 530,583 figure is a clear data-entry error by the testing station, not real accumulation; the genuine curve is gentle and uninterrupted by gaps beyond the usual annual spacing. No recurring faults, corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects appear in the DVLA trail, so the history implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current without neglected failures. The single 2024 failure carries no listed defect, suggesting an administrative or identification issue at the centre rather than a mechanical breakdown. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, subframe corrosion, suspension bushes, and brake disc thickness, since MOT cleanliness at low mileages often masks standing moisture damage or perished rubber unseen in a test lane. Verify the true odometer against the erroneous 2024 entry before purchase.
