AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2001 Suzuki has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 3,312 miles. The MOT history itself is clean, but the mileage anomaly is a major concern.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 15,544 miles over 25 years, averaging only 636 miles per year, with suspiciously low readings before May 2009 and unexplained spikes in 2013 and 2017.

Things to check

  • Extremely low mileage: 15,544 miles in 25 years (Jan 2001 to Jun 2025) — highly suspicious for a 2001 vehicle.
  • Mileage significantly below cohort: 15,544 mi total is bottom 10% of similar SUZUKIs of this age (typical: 95,117 mi, n=1664 vehicles).
  • Mileage anomaly flags: 6+ flags for suspiciously low, high, or inconsistent usage patterns across the vehicle's history.
  • Mileage integrity compromised: Unusually high jumps in 2013 and 2017, and suspiciously low readings before 2009, suggest potential odometer tampering.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-06-05, indicating current roadworthiness and recent safety inspection.
  • No recurring failures: The single 2007-09-05 failure for a tyre and brake issue was immediately rectified and has not recurred.
  • Clean recent MOT history: The vehicle has passed all subsequent MOT tests since 2007 without any failures or significant advisories.
  • Low annual mileage: Average of 636 miles/year suggests minimal wear and tear on mechanical components, potentially extending service life.
