2002 Suzuki Wagon-R+ 1.3L Petrol · WA52 LDF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2024-02-21 at 58,222 miles, showed a pass with no defects recorded. However, the same date also lists a failure with no defects, which is anomalous and suggests potential data inconsistency. The prior test in 2023-02-22 at 56,775 miles passed with no issues, and the 2022-02-24 test at 54,894 miles also passed. The pattern shows no recurring mechanical faults, but the lack of recent testing beyond 2024 raises concerns. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains uncertain due to the absence of up-to-date certification, despite no critical issues being flagged in prior records. The vehicle’s mileage of 58,222 miles over 24 years equates to approximately 2,426 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which may lead to component degradation such as dry rot in rubber parts or seized mechanisms. The MOT history shows no gaps in testing between 2022 and 2024, but the two 2024 tests at identical mileages and dates are conflicting. The absence of defects in all recorded tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard, though the lack of recent data limits confidence in its current condition. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the vehicle’s structural integrity for rust, particularly in the bodyshell and undercarriage, given its age. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be checked for wear, as low mileage can mask hidden fatigue. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, require scrutiny for corrosion or binding, as these issues may not surface in MOT tests. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be assessed, as older vehicles often develop leaks or inefficiencies over time. The absence of recorded advisories does not eliminate these risks, as some faults may not trigger MOT failures.
