2004 Suzuki RV 0.1L Petrol · YK54 BGF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent inspection. The latest test conducted in September 2023 at 16,468 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. Following a minor electrical failure in March 2021 regarding a non-functional stop lamp, the car has maintained a consistent record without any recurring mechanical or structural issues being flagged. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 750 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between the November 2018 test at 8,333 miles and the March 2021 test, where the vehicle covered only 489 miles over over two years. Since 2021, the mileage has added 7,646 miles. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluids from sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on risks associated with long-term storage rather than high-mileage wear. Because the vehicle sits so infrequently, the inspector must check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes which are common in low-use cars. The structural integrity of the chassis should be scrutinized for corrosion, as moisture-related rust can affect older Suzuki frames regardless of the miles driven. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the condition of the tyres for cracking is also vital, as these components age even if the tread depth remains high.
