AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Suzuki has 5 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 1,362 miles. The extremely low mileage (259 mi/yr) is a significant red flag for potential odometer fraud.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 1,949 miles over 18 years, averaging only 259 miles per year, which is highly suspicious and suggests potential odometer tampering.
Things to check
- Extremely low lifetime mileage: 1,949 miles over 18 years (Jan 2008 to Jul 2015) — well below UK average.
- Mileage significantly below cohort: 259 mi/yr average is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
- 2012 MOT gap: No MOT recorded between Jan 2013 and Jan 2014 — indicates possible SORN or unverified history.
- First MOT not until 2011: Vehicle was driven without a valid MOT for its first 3 years (Jan 2008 to Aug 2011).
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures since 2014: The single 2014 failure for registration plates was immediately rectified.
- Low insurance group: 4 out of 50, indicating lower running costs and insurance premiums.
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 3/5 stars (2024) — shows a reasonable safety standard for its age.
- No recent MOT advisories: The 2011-08-10 advisory for a 'stiff' parking brake is a minor but unaddressed issue from 13 years ago.
