How ULEZ rules apply to the Splash
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (97% of Splashes tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Diesel (3% of Splashes tested): most cars in our data are from years unlikely to comply.

Buying a used Suzuki Splash for London: what the MOT data shows
The Suzuki Splashes in this data were first registered between 2008 and 2015. 2012 was the most common year, with 3,783 tests (21% of the total), and half were registered in 2012 or later.
Splashes from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 65% of the time, at an average of 57,080 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 55% of the time with 68,576 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
Whichever year you choose, check the Splash's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were suspension: "ball joint excessively worn" (7.1% of tests) and "fractured or broken" (6.0%); lights and electrics: "not working" (5.8%). The most frequent advisory was "excessively corroded", on 18.1% of tests.
Overall, 64% of Splashes passed first time, noticeably below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 57,392 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
