What to check on a used Maruti Alto 800 before buying

The Maruti Alto 800 is a common car to find in any used car market across India. It is important to keep the following points in mind when evaluating any Alto 800 before buying.

Odometer Reading

You will find Maruti Alto 800s in the market that have been driven and maintained for well over ten years. This is because it’s a sturdy, dependable and reliable vehicle that withstands the test of time. Across the length and breadth of India, you will find the workhorse Maruti 800 Alto has been known to cross the one lakh km mark and still perform what’s asked of it with admirable elan.

When considering a Maruti Alto 800, check out the number of kilometres the car has travelled. You can get a rough idea if the odometer reading is correct by observing the wear and tear in the interior and exterior of the vehicle. Checking the car’s service records is another great way to verify the odometer on an Maruti Alto 800 and ensure you don’t end up with a car with excessive kilometres on the odometer.

A Maruti Alto 800 does not drop in resale value over the years with older cars being priced similarly to newer ones. What then should differentiate them? Always go for a Maruti Alto 800 with a proven service history as your first preference. Have oil changes been carried out regularly? Have gearbox and tyre replacements been done on time. If the answer is yes, you can safely purchase an older Maruti Alto 800 knowing you have got a good deal. If you do not have access to a car’s history, look out for paint tones that do not match, welded bits or ill fitting panels that are pointers to a car’s accident status.

CNG Kit and Fitness Certificate

You do need to be careful of Alto CNG cars as well. The Maruti Alto 800 was offered with a factory-fitted kit, but there are owners who have fitted aftermarket CNG kits. In either case, it is important to check the CNG fitness certificate of the car. Another thing to remember: CNG is a dry fuel since it is gaseous providing nothing by way of lubrication to the engine. This has an adverse impact on the health of the engine. Ensuring that proper service and maintenance has been carried out on the car is an important step to take.

Gearbox

Maruti Alto 800 does tend to have clutch plate problems, with it getting burnt and the pressure plate needing replacement over time and usage. In fact the 2007 Maruti Alto 800 was given a silent recall by Maruti Suzuki to replace the defective clutch. While it is not a major expense to replace the clutch, it is an expense that should be considered when looking at a decently old used Maruti Alto 800.

Other Things to Check

Please bear in mind that the headings given above are specific problems related to the Maruti Alto 800. We would also urge you to go over the following points which will hold you in good stead, not only while purchasing a pre owned Maruti Alto 800, but would be applicable to other cars as well. A clear understanding would ensure that you would be the person to call should any of your friends or family require inputs on buying a second hand car.

• Please go over the vehicle papers carefully to verify important information like the engine number, chassis number, the number of owners before you, among others.
• The suspension can be checked while doing a test drive and you can notice the condition of the tyres as well.
• The Maruti Alto 800 does tend to rust, especially if you are near the sea, so please check the underbody and wheel arches out as well.
• The Maruti Alto 800 is an affordable car and the quality of interior parts used are in-line with the price. As such, you should inspect the functioning of the AC, switches, and knobs.

What are your choices if you come across any of the points above? Well, we would recommend walking away from the car if anything is wrong with the papers. If you observe any other problems, that should factor into the price you pay for the vehicle since you will, no doubt, be repairing the vehicle. A visit to a service centre or a trusted mechanic could give you an approximate figure of the costs involved. You can then decide to go in for the purchase of the pre owned Maruti Alto 800 knowing fully you have covered all the pain points that may arise and have paid the selling price accordingly.

Conclusion

The Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 presents a compelling option for budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable, economical vehicle. With its proven low cost of ownership and efficient fuel consumption, it’s an ideal choice for city commuting. However, prospective buyers should be aware of its limitations, including compromised performance with a full load or when using the AC, as well as its modest build quality and limited space, especially in the rear. When considering a used Alto 800, thorough inspection is crucial, focusing on odometer readings, service history, CNG kit condition, gearbox health, and overall vehicle condition. Despite its shortcomings, the Alto 800 remains a popular choice in the entry-level segment, offering practicality and affordability for everyday transportation needs.
