Our Verdict
A strong candidate for city driving, par
When inspecting this specific Suzuki, focus on the service history to ensure the small-capacity engine has received regular oil changes, as short trips can lead to sludge build-up. While the MOT records show no defects, you should still check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components.
Negotiate based on the service intervals rather than just the mileage. Because this is a 645.0cc petrol model, verify that the battery has been maintained, as very low annual mileage can sometimes lead to discharge issues. Check the interior for any signs of wear that might contradict the low mileage recorded on the MOT certificates.
This vehicle is positioned in a very low insurance group and tax band due to its small 645.0cc engine displacement. Expect high fuel economy, making it an economical choice for urban environments and new drivers.
Maintenance costs for a Suzuki of this type are typically modest, with inexpensive parts and straightforward mechanical layouts. Your estimated annual running costs will be heavily influenced by your annual mileage, but the low engine capacity provides a significant buffer against high fuel and tax expenses.
As the MOT history shows no recorded defects across the last three tests, there are no specific recurring failure patterns to alert you to. However, you should perform a visual inspection of the red paintwork for any signs of sun damage or fading, which can occur on older vehicles kept outdoors.
Check the underside for any signs of corrosion, though the clean MOT history suggests this has not been an issue thus far. Given the low mileage, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres; even with plenty of tread, they may be nearing the end of their functional life due to age.
This 2016 red Suzuki DL presents with significantly low mileage for its age, having covered just 19,377 miles by June 2024. The MOT history is notably clean, with three consecutive passes in 2022, 2023, and 2024 showing no recorded defects or advisories. Given the small 645.0cc petrol engine, this vehicle appears to have been used primarily for short-distance urban commuting.
There is currently no aggregate MOT data available to establish a specific reliability trend for the Suzuki DL.
