2008 Suzuki 1.3L Petrol · YR08 RFE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of clean inspection results. The most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 31,374 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a sequence of clean passes in 2024, 2023, and 2022, suggesting that the owner has addressed any emerging issues promptly. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,743 miles per year. Data shows significant intervals of low use, such as the 604 miles covered between July 2024 and March 2026, and only 583 miles recorded in the year preceding that. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent use suggests the vehicle may spend long periods stationary. Such usage patterns often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid issues not fully captured by a standard MOT. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure despite mileage. The failure on 20 May 2022 at 29,221 miles indicates a specific defect that was rectified before the successful test three days later, though the nature of that fault remains unrecorded. Given the low usage, inspect the chassis for structural corrosion and the suspension bushes for cracking, which occurs when vehicles sit. Additionally, check the braking system for seized calipers or corroded discs, as low-mile vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust and perished seals due to lack of consistent heat cycles.
