Insight summary

Suzuki Carry is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 3,083 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 68.1% from 28,172 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 46. The current pool shows an average of 88,610 miles and an average age of 20.7 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 89,134 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are engine warning light, exhaust emissions and windscreen damage. The practical read is that the Suzuki Carry looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
