Buying a used Suzuki Wagon R+ for London: what the MOT data shows
The Suzuki Wagon R+ models in this data were first registered between 1999 and 2007. 2003 was the most common year, with 1,802 tests (20% of the total), and half were registered in 2003 or later.
Wagon R+ models from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 61% of the time, at an average of 70,921 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 51% of the time with 76,602 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest petrol Wagon R+ models likely to comply are from 2006. 606 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 61% of the time and averaged 72,162 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Wagon R+'s weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (9.0% of tests); brakes: "excessively corroded" (5.0%); suspension: "ball joint excessively worn" (4.5%). The most frequent advisory was "excessively corroded", on 27.5% of tests.
Overall, 57% of Wagon R+ models passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 74,102 miles on average, close to the 73,145-mile average.
