Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a small city car, especially given its recent clean MOT record. Proceed with confidence, but ensure you verify the service history to complement the positive MOT trends.
When viewing this 996cc petrol model, focus on the service history to see if oil changes have been performed regularly, as this is vital for small-capacity engines. Since the 2023 MOT showed a failure followed by an immediate pass, ask the seller what specific issue caused that initial failure to ensure it was a minor, resolved matter.
Check the tyre tread and brake pad life, as these are common wear items on urban cars like this. Given the mileage is approaching 95,000, you should also inspect the suspension components and exhaust system for any signs of premature wear that might not yet have triggered an MOT advisory.
The Suzuki Splash is designed for economy, with its 1.0L engine sitting in a relatively low insurance group and tax band. You can expect competitive fuel economy, making it suitable for both urban commuting and occasional longer trips.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically manageable, as small petrol engines often benefit from widely available parts. Estimate your annual running costs based on your typical annual mileage, factoring in the standard costs of fuel, tax, and routine servicing.
Based on the MOT history, the vehicle has passed its last three tests with zero defects recorded, which is a positive sign. However, you should manually inspect the underbody for any signs of corrosion, as this is a common area where small cars can develop issues over a 16-year lifespan.
Pay close attention to the clutch and gearbox smoothness, as these are key components for a petrol car of this age and mileage. Additionally, check the electrical components, including all lights and the dashboard display, to ensure everything is functioning as expected.
This 2010 turquoise Suzuki Splash has covered 94,830 miles since its first registration in March 2010. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with the most recent three tests recorded without any defects. While it has reached a higher mileage bracket, the lack of recent failures suggests the vehicle has been kept roadworthy.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Suzuki Splash to provide a statistical comparison.
