AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2002 Suzuki has 16 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 9,506 miles. The vehicle has been off-road for extended periods, which is a major red flag for a 24-year-old car.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 9,506 miles over 24 years, averaging only 1,087 miles per year, which is highly suspicious and suggests potential odometer tampering or long periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- Extremely low mileage: 9,506 miles in 24 years (Jan 2002 to Aug 2022) — well below UK average.
- Mileage significantly below cohort: 22,441 miles total is bottom 10% for a 24-year-old SUZUKI.
- MOT history shows a 2021 SORN gap (no MOT recorded) — indicates extended off-road use.
- One major failure for unsafe rear suspension modification (drive chain) on 2009-12-30 — requires careful inspection.
Working in its favour
- No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history — all failures were immediately rectified.
- Clean recent MOT pass on 2022-08-12 with no advisories — indicates current roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage increases (albeit very low) — no sudden spikes or drops.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like brakes or emissions.
