2012 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · SH61 ABF

This Suzuki Alto presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 November 2025 at 113,000 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a state of repair that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation has increased significantly in recent years. Between the September 2022 test at 60,798 miles and the September 2023 test at 83,012 miles, the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles in a single year. This represents a sharp increase compared to the average annual usage for a fourteen year old car. The mileage then climbed further to 113,000 miles by November 2025, indicating the car has been used more intensively as a primary commuter or utility vehicle in its later life. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record shows no failures regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, the lack of any noted wear on consumables suggests a very disciplined maintenance regime or a lenient testing history. A buyer should specifically inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly flag rust, but this is a common failure point for Altos of this vintage. Physical inspection should focus on the drivetrain and suspension components to ensure they have been serviced to match the recent high-mileage usage. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads manually, as the clean MOT history provides no data on how close these parts are to their wear limits. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals to confirm the mechanical health matches the clean DVSA record.
