2011 Suzuki Splash 1.0L Petrol · SL61 OGN

The vehicle currently presents a concerning mechanical state characterized by a worsening trend of advanced structural corrosion. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 95,709 miles, the history reveals a persistent failure to address underbody decay. The transition from a failure for brake pipe corrosion and structural issues in 2023 to a pass despite heavily corroded suspension components suggests that only immediate safety failures are being rectified rather than underlying structural issues being repaired. At 95,709 miles over 15 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,400 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-use urban driving. The mileage accumulation shows steady progress, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between October 2023 and November 2025. However, the low annual mileage has not protected the vehicle from environmental damage, suggesting the car has likely operated in areas with high salt exposure or conditions that accelerated the oxidation of the metalwork. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the chassis and the mounting points for the suspension geometry. The 2023 failure for excessively corroded brake pipes and insufficient brake pedal travel indicates that the hydraulic system was previously compromised by rust. A buyer should verify if the fuel tank straps and brake lines were actually replaced with new parts or merely cleaned to allow a temporary pass. The recurring advisories regarding underbody corrosion across multiple years indicate that the vehicle is approaching a point where structural failure may lead to an un-roadworthy condition.
