Our Verdict
This Suzuki Alto is a sensible choice fo
When viewing this specific 996cc petrol model, check that the service history matches the mileage increments seen in the MOT records, particularly around the 60,000-mile mark. As a small city car, look for signs of heavy urban use, such as scuffed alloys or minor bodywork imperfections common for a vehicle of this age.
Negotiate based on the documented MOT history; while the recent records are clean, the failure in October 2024 suggests a component required attention. Ensure you verify that any repairs made following that failure were carried out promptly, as the retest occurred on the same day.
The Suzuki Alto is designed for economy, featuring a small 996cc engine that typically sits in a low insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy should be relatively high, making it suitable for short commutes and urban driving.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally modest due to its mechanical simplicity. You should budget for standard consumables like tyres, brakes, and oil changes, with an estimated annual running cost of £900-£1,100 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the areas typically tested during the MOT. Although the 2025 and 2024 tests showed no defects, you should still check the condition of the tyres, brake pads, and suspension components, as these are common areas for wear in small hatchbacks.
Given the vehicle's age and mileage, inspect the blue paintwork for any signs of corrosion or significant chips. Additionally, check the interior for wear on the driver's seat and controls, which can be telling regarding the actual usage patterns of the car.
This 2010 blue Suzuki Alto has covered 69,574 miles since its first registration in March 2010. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, with the most recent inspection in September 2025 recording no defects. While there was a failure recorded in October 2024, the vehicle was successfully retested on the same day with no further issues noted.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Suzuki Alto to provide a statistical comparison.
