2014 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · SP64 NGX

A consistent trend of clean test certificates interspersed with minor, rectifiable electrical and visibility defects defines the MOT history of this Suzuki Splash, which most recently passed its test on 16 July 2026 with no recorded advisories. Over an annual inspection cycle spanning back to 2021, the vehicle has encountered initial failures due to a non-functioning nearside front position lamp and offside stop lamp in 2024, followed by an ineffective front windscreen wiper in 2025, all of which were promptly rectified during the same testing appointments. Beyond these bulb and wiper replacements, the only other notable entries across the entire test history are minor cracking and perishing noted on both front tyres back in July 2022, after which the vehicle returned to a completely fault-free inspection status through consecutive tests in 2024, 2025, and 2026. With an odometer reading of 32,472 miles at roughly twelve years of age, the vehicle accumulates an average of approximately 2,706 miles annually, representing a comparatively low usage profile. This restricted mileage indicates lighter overall transit rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, as testing has occurred on a strict annual basis without any multi-year gaps or SORN lapses recorded in the DVSA database. Mechanically, such light use means that structural components and drivetrain assemblies have avoided heavy wear, though lower mileage vehicles still require careful verification of consumable items that age through time rather than distance alone. During the pre-purchase inspection and dynamic road test, specific attention should be directed toward the rubber and electrical components highlighted in previous test records. Inspect both front tyres closely across the tread patterns and sidewalls to ensure that the rubber remains supple and free from the surface perishing noted in earlier years, checking also for even tread wear across the front axle. Test all exterior lighting functions thoroughly, paying particular attention to the front position lamps and rear stop lamps to confirm that no intermittent wiring or bulb holder faults persist from the 2024 failure points. On the road, listen closely for any unusual suspension knocks or steering play over uneven road surfaces, and evaluate the braking system for immediate bite and smooth deceleration without pedal vibration or pull. Operate the windscreen washers and wipers across all speed settings to verify that the wiper linkage clears the glass effectively, ensuring the previous wiper failure has been fully resolved with a healthy blade and motor assembly. A thorough check underneath the vehicle on a ramp will confirm the current condition of the brake lines, exhaust system, and suspension mountings, verifying that the clean status recorded on the two most recent MOT certificates reflects sound structural and mechanical integrity.
