This 2004 Suzuki has 5 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 8,486 miles. While it has a clean recent MOT pass, the extremely low usage raises serious concerns about its mechanical health and long-term reliability.

The vehicle shows a very low total mileage of 14,113 miles over 22 years, with a significant drop in annual usage from 2009 onwards, indicating a possible odometer issue.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 14,113 mi (22 years) vs typical 95,117 mi for a 2004 SUZUKI.
  • Mileage anomaly: Usage dropped sharply from 2009 onwards, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
  • First MOT not until 2008 (May 30): Vehicle was driven for 4 years without a valid MOT, indicating potential neglect.
  • Horn failure (Oct 2011): Minor but indicates owner neglect of basic maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • No recurring failures: Single minor failure (horn) was immediately rectified on 2011-10-18.
  • Clean recent MOT (Oct 2011): Vehicle passed its most recent MOT test without any major defects.
  • Low insurance group: 4 out of 50, making it a cheap and attractive insurance option.
  • No major structural advisories: No recurring issues on critical systems like brakes or suspension.
