AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2005 Suzuki has 23 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 15,479 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of tyre advisories and failures, combined with extremely low annual usage, presents significant risks.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage averaging 3,119 miles/year, with a significant drop from 49,437 miles in Nov 2018 to 52,119 miles in Nov 2019, suggesting periods of inactivity or potential odometer issues.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories and failures across 9 tests (Nov 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022) indicate chronic neglect.
- Very low annual mileage (3,119 mi/yr) for a 21-year-old vehicle suggests long periods of inactivity or potential odometer fraud.
- Major failures for Engine/Oil, Fuel System, and Electrical systems (Nov 2018, 2019, 2020) point to systemic maintenance issues.
- The 2023 MOT gap suggests the vehicle may have been off-road or SORN, raising questions about its maintenance history.
Working in its favour
- Vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2027, indicating it currently meets basic safety standards.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the car has been maintained to a satisfactory level since 2026.
- Consistent mileage trajectory post-2020, showing no suspicious jumps or drops.
- No dangerous defects recorded in the most recent MOT tests (Apr 2026).
