2009 Suzuki Alto 1.1L Petrol · YT59 LWS

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 4 December 2025 at 108,269 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The absence of flagged mechanical failures across multiple years suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a condition meeting minimum legal standards. The mileage is typical for a 17 year old car, averaging roughly 6,369 miles per year. The distance covered between the November 2023 test at 102,785 miles and the December 2025 test at 108,269 miles shows steady, moderate use. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration from standing. The MOT history is unusually clean, with no specific defects listed even during the failed tests in December 2024 and November 2025. This lack of detail in the failure records is atypical and makes it difficult to identify specific recurring mechanical weaknesses. A buyer should therefore focus their physical inspection on common age-related issues for this model, specifically checking for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis. Given the age of the vehicle, a manual check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is recommended to identify wear that may not have triggered a failure. Inspecting the brake discs for pitting and checking the condition of the exhaust system for leaks will provide a more complete picture of the car's health than the sparse DVSA records allow.
