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 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 20,957 miles. The recurring brake advisories and a 2015 timing chain issue are critical factors to investigate.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,691 miles per year, with a significant spike in 2015 (10,811 miles in 12 months) and a subsequent drop.

Things to check

  • Vehicle is 21 years old (first registered Jan 2005), well past typical service intervals.
  • Mileage is extremely low at 20,957 miles over 21 years, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
  • Timing chain reported as a fault in community knowledge for this model, a major potential repair.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a strong MOT pass record with no dangerous defects recorded.
  • Low insurance group (4 out of 50) means lower running costs and premiums.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
