2015 Suzuki Alto 1.0L Petrol · WO64 EVL

The 2015 Suzuki Alto has a recent MOT failure on 2025-10-28, showing both front inner CV boots are damaged and no longer prevent dirt ingress. This is a serious safety risk as contaminated CV joints can lead to joint failure, causing loss of drive or sudden wheel lock-up. The vehicle’s condition shows a clear worsening trend over the last three years. The 2025 failure mirrors issues from previous years, including oil leaks and tyre wear. The CV boot failures are particularly concerning and indicate ongoing neglect or lack of maintenance. The 2024 and 2023 MOTs also showed similar recurring problems like oil leaks and worn tyres, suggesting the car has been driven with minimal attention to these key areas. With 71,353 miles on a 11-year-old vehicle, the average annual mileage of around 6,487 miles is typical and suggests moderate use rather than hard driving or extended periods of inactivity. However, the repeated issues point more toward inconsistent maintenance than excessive wear. The most critical checks for a buyer are: inspect the CV boots for cracks or grease leakage, test for any clunking or vibration when accelerating, and check the tyres for uneven wear or damage. Also verify the oil level and look for signs of leaks under the car.
