2014 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · WM14 VLL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available testing data. The most recent inspection on 5 February 2024 at 97,049 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on that exact same date, the lack of listed defects suggests either an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before a retest, as the subsequent pass was clean of any mechanical failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual use for a city car, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between December 2020 at 59,251 miles and January 2022 at 61,838 miles, indicating a period of very low usage for over thirteen months. However, the vehicle covered nearly 30,000 miles between the January 2023 and February 2024 tests. This sudden increase in usage likely accelerated the wear on consumable components such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushings. Since the MOT history shows no recurring structural corrosion or persistent mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items associated with the higher mileage. A buyer should check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these degrade over periods of standing. Given the age of the Suzuki, verifying the integrity of the exhaust system and checking for weeping around the brake calipers is essential to ensure the recent spike in mileage has not led to accelerated degradation of the braking components.
