2012 Suzuki Splash 1.2L Petrol · WD12 HNA

The 2012 Suzuki Splash demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2025-10-22 at 70,444 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with the vehicle’s consistent annual mileage progression. No recurring issues or structural concerns were flagged across the six-year history, indicating responsible maintenance and absence of critical faults. The lack of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-kept, though low mileage over 14 years warrants scrutiny of potential age-related degradation in non-driven components. The vehicle’s mileage of 70,444 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 5,032 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This pattern implies infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on rubber seals, hoses, and suspension components. The MOT intervals are regular and unbroken, with no gaps exceeding 12 months, reinforcing a disciplined maintenance schedule. However, the absence of high-mileage wear indicators—such as brake disc thickness or tyre tread depth—does not confirm component integrity, as these are not assessed in standard MOTs. A physical inspection should prioritise suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for signs of binding or corrosion, particularly given the low mileage. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for rust, as prolonged inactivity increases vulnerability to corrosion. While the MOT history shows no red flags, the vehicle’s age and mileage profile necessitate verification of fluid levels, battery health, and steering linkage play. Buyers should also confirm that the 2025 MOT was conducted within the required 12-month window, as the test date (2025-10-22) falls 9 months before the current date (2026-07-20), leaving the car potentially untested for 10 months if no subsequent inspection has occurred.
