Description
For sale: My much-loved 2012 Suzuki Splash 1.0 petrol manual in clean white - only 87,000 miles from new.
I've owned it for short local trips and shopping runs around Ipswich and Colchester - gentle use, never thrashed, always garaged when possible.
It's been a brilliant, ultra-reliable little runaround: cheap to tax (20/year), fantastic economy (60+ mpg easy), low insurance, ULEZ-compliant, and perfect for city parking/commuting in London or East Anglia.
Why this one stands out - I've taken care of ALL the common age-related niggles so the next owner gets a genuinely trouble-free car:
Fresh full MOT passed recently (29th Jan 2026) - no advisories, ready to drive with total peace of mind.
Full service completed 17th December 2025 - fresh oil, filters, the lot.
New clutch fitted June 2025 - no more worrying about slipping or expensive failures (common around this mileage in town cars).
Brand new tyres all round - recently fitted, loads of tread, safe and quiet.
Upgraded modern radio with Bluetooth, USB, and hands-free - sounds great, easy to pair your phone for calls/music (big upgrade over the original tinny one!).
Spark plug threads reinforced with professional Time-Sert inserts - this is a known weak point on older aluminum-head engines like the 1.0 K10B (stripped threads from over-torqueing or age), but I've sorted it properly so no risk of misfires or blown plugs ever again. Solid, permanent fix - no more common engine headaches!
Excellent documented service history
The car is in very clean condition inside and out - no rips, no major marks, non-smoker, no pets. Starts first time, drives smoothly, gearbox nice and light, no weird noises/knocks (rear suspension feels solid too). Everything works as it should - electrics, wipers, etc.
Bonus: Cherished plate AV12 TNN.
Reads cleverly as "A V12 TN" like a mini V12 engine vibe - fun nod to performance even though this is an economical city car! Or think "AV 12 TNN" as "A Victory 12 Times... Nice!" - cheeky and memorable way to stand out. Adds real personality without being over-the-top.
Priced to sell quickly for a car this sorted and ready to go.
No time-wasters please - genuine buyers only. Located at Ipswich.
