2014 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · SM14 ACF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 16 October 2025 at 127,229 miles, confirming its roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent test resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed its initial inspections in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of specific failure items suggests these were likely administrative or minor procedural issues rather than systemic mechanical failures. Accumulating 127,229 miles over twelve years places this Suzuki Alto at an average of approximately 10,600 miles per annum, which is consistent with standard usage patterns for this vehicle class. The mileage progression remains steady, showing roughly 11,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and a similar increase leading into the 2025 inspection. This consistent usage indicates the car has remained in regular service rather than suffering from the potential seal degradation or seized components often associated with long periods of inactivity. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the high-mileage wear items that typically affect this model. Given the age and mileage, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components frequently exhibit fatigue at this stage of the vehicle lifecycle. Check the brake discs and pads for signs of uneven wear or corrosion, as the record provides no insight into the current state of consumables. Inspect the chassis and sills for any signs of structural corrosion, as these areas are common failure points for vehicles of this vintage. While the recent test history is clean, a thorough check of the engine bay for fluid leaks and an assessment of the exhaust system integrity remain prudent steps before purchase.
