2003 Suzuki Wagon-R+ 1.3L Petrol · VF03 ASU

The Suzuki passed its most recent MOT on 22 September 2025 at 157,081 miles with no defects recorded. That result follows a clean pass in September 2024 at 154,194 miles, so the maintenance trend is stable and the car is currently roadworthy per the DVSA record. The two prior failures, logged on 18 September 2023 and 19 September 2024, were both re-tested and passed on the same day. With zero defects and no advisories appearing across all five entries, the fail outcomes likely stemmed from minor rectification items settled quickly, not from underlying mechanical or structural decline. The mileage pattern shows steady, moderate use rather than neglect or extreme service. The car covered roughly 2,624 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, then 2,887 miles to the September 2025 test. Averaging about 6,830 miles per year across 23 years, this matches typical annual use for a small city car. The gaps between tests run consistently at twelve months, which signals the owner maintained a regular MOT cycle without any periods of extended standing or heavy commercial-style accumulation. Because the MOT history records no faults or advisories at all, the paperwork offers no specific mechanical red flags to chase. That absence is encouraging, but it does not replace a physical inspection on a 23-year-old car with 157,081 miles recorded. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or sagging, check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and probe the floor pans, sills, and suspension mounting points for corrosion. Exhaust system integrity and general fluid leaks deserve a close look as well, since these areas commonly deteriorate between tests even when no advisory was raised. The clean history suggests conscientious upkeep, but age and mileage alone justify a thorough hands-on check before purchase.
