SUZUKI SWIFT2015 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows an improving maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 25,753 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This represents a clean state compared to the 2024 failure where multiple-related components failed to meet safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,341 miles per year. The data shows consistent but minimal annual usage, with 2,099 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 2,714 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and accelerated corrosion, which matches the patterns seen in this record. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and braking systems to ensure the previous faults have not returned. The 2023 and 2024 tests flagged recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkage ball joint gaiters and a distorted nearside rear road wheel, suggesting the vehicle may have encountered impacts or environmental wear. Furthermore, the 2024 failure regarding corroded brake pipes covered in grease is a significant finding, as grease is often used to hide structural decay from inspectors. It is vital to verify that these brake lines were replaced or properly treated rather than merely cleaned, and an in-person inspection should also check the integrity of the nearside rear wheel for any signs of hairline cracks or structural fatigue.
