This 2016 Suzuki has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 9,592 miles. The very low annual mileage (3,077 mi/yr) is a significant red flag for potential underlying issues.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage averaging 3,077 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2022 onwards (e.g., 1,340 miles in 12 months from Mar 2022 to Mar 2023).
Things to check
- Very low annual mileage (3,077 mi/yr) since 2016 registration, suggesting limited use or potential issues.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Feb 2020, Mar 2022, Feb 2026) escalated to a DANGEROUS defect (Feb 2024), indicating chronic wear.
- Major brake failure recorded on 2024-02-12, though it passed the retest on the same day.
- The 2024-02-12 MOT failure for brakes, despite immediate retest PASS, suggests a reactive maintenance approach.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-06, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like brakes or suspension, only advisories.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (3,077 mi/yr) suggests light use and minimal wear.
